Zero. My parents taught me respect and frugality, but what to do with my life has always been my choice. I was never pressured to do anything. Despite that I turned out to be ok, got a Computer Science bachelor and master in a really good university via scholarship thanks to good high school grades, immigrated by myself to the USA (San Francisco) from a Mediterranean European country, went through many immigration visas, green card and ultimately citizenship, got several jobs in tech and finance including a FAANG job where I’m currently making > $1M/year, and a very healthy investment portfolio setting me up for financial independence and early retirement (knock on wood). My brother grew up in my same family, same values and is a lazy bum who in his mid 30s still hasn’t been able to hold a (low paying) job for more than a few months. I love him btw and I do not assume I live a better life than him, he is quite chill while I tend to be constantly stressed. He is a genuine good person. So go figure if my parents’ approach to raising children was good or not.
