Money affects the course a person's life takes after recovery from an illness or injury. I have two friends who started at Ivy League universities about forty years ago. Both got sick and had to leave school. One was from a very poor family, and was the only person in his family to have even begun college. The other was the daughter of a Harvard professor. The one from the poor family started working as he recovered, so he could help support his family, who were supporting him. The daughter of the Harvard professor convalesced in her family's big house in Cambridge. The friend from the poor family never achieved "escape velocity" to get back to college. It was odd that he'd done it the first time. The friend from Cambridge got better and, as was expected, returned to Yale with full family support and backing and the understanding that of course you go to college. Money and social support make it fairly easy for a person to relaunch after a crash.
