> Many rich famlies don't believe in supporting their kids What does that mean? No prep school, health care, high school, parenting, nannying, family trips to Europe? Are the kids just left on the street? People I know who have done that stopped supporting kids after college, at least for awhile, or older generations left it to their kid to work their way through college - not a viable option these days. But the first 18 years have all the benefits of wealth. And anyway, how many families are we talking about? Go to the local rich neighborhood and ask - my guess is you won't find more than maybe 1% or less.

Working your way through college is still a viable option. This usually takes more than 4 years. I literally know people who have done it. It typically requires going to community college first, then transferring to a state university part time. If you're in an expensive area then move.

  That’s something you do if you’re poor. Not if you’re rich but your parents want to teach you the value of hard work and self sufficiency.

Jost poblic schools no special prep school. Public school includes high school. Health care is everywhere. Trips to Europe don't setkids for a rich life. we are talking a small amount. You won't find them in rich meiborhoods, they often live in poor neiporhoods, but the parents have money.

  > Trips to Europe don't setkids for a rich life. They are not sufficient by themselves, but they certainly help. Experiencing another place is some of the most effective learning people can do. It broadens the mind to possibilities far beyond what's normally around you; it teaches that your personal world is not the world, but just one of very many. It also enculturates people to a socio-economic class. They can carry on a conversation at the party - or the work lunch or job interview - when people talk about their travels.
