I love how this touches on perceptions of intelligence vs wealth. Our family was somewhat poor, with 5 kids growing up on 1 public school teacher's salary, but we all made good grades. I remember this one kid saying "I thought your parents were doctors or lawyers." And what he meant was, you have less than me and you do more with it - but you still have less than me.
