This is absolutely the case for many poor families. My parents worked very hard so that their children could have a better life than they did. I am more educated, and wealthier than they ever were thanks to their hard work, and I am extremely grateful for it. Additionally they're also very happy their hard work and sacrifice has paid off. Growing up poor has kept me grounded to the struggles of the working poor, even as my income has gone up many multiples since I started working.
