Also zero. I'm a product of neglect - grew up in rural USA, overcrowded/inhabitable home, food scarcity, physical abuse. Many of my childhood peers are dead, incarcerated, or in the military. My parents didn't go to college. I was vaguely encouraged to go, but mostly as the token smart child (which itself led to ridicule and isolation from my peer group). I had some teachers guide me into a "gifted" program, but this didn't result in much because the schools in my town had so few resources. My parents were never involved in my schooling/homework, and even actively discouraged some extracurriculars. Any encouragement I did have seemed to be from antiquated notions of success. E.g. "you'll never become anything if you don't go to college". I think many of our parents genuinely don't understand the world today and, even if they have good intentions, can sabotage their children. What freaks me out is that I had the same exact upbringing as all of my siblings/peers, but turned out way different because of <unexplained??>. I disowned my family, moved to the big city, I'm in a loving long-term relationship and staring at a cool $1m+ in the bank. And I'm not even 30! I'm proud of me. Using a throwaway acct. I like telling this story but it's a little too personal.
