IME, most people want to craft a narrative that lets them feel OK about themselves without too much introspection. If their lives are good, they'll take credit for their fortune like the people in the article. If their lives are bad, they'll blame everyone but themselves. I've made a small jump in socio-economic class, and I try and keep it in perspective. I try and remember the bits of help I got a long the way. And at the same time I'm trying to let go of my resentment about people whose parents set them up with cars, tuition and house deposits - because one day I hope to be that parent.
