Does it really matter that much how you started out, whether you were given a helping hand, given yardage in your daddys farm, or a hand out from Great Grand mama? There always seems to be resentment that somebody else is getting something youre not. So what? If its a wise investment, you certainly wouldnt pour money into tree work, but something that actually makes a profit occasionally. What is so unnatural about a father wishing to help his son, thats a purely natural progression, survival of the species, or your genes being helped along to succeed.

I had a warehouse job for many years when my kids were young, enough to live on, but nothing left over to save for the future. i got made redundant, and the government gave us our retraining, and support to get going. Some frittered this opportunity away, I took full advantage of it. Is that wrong? I am no burden on the state, I can hold my head up and be proud of myself, and have been in the position to help my kids on their way. Thats nothing to be ashamed of. Each to their own, live life your own way, just dont tread on others in your ambitions.

 

Well said that man. May as well start a thread called who's carrying a chip? Never mind about others and trying to be judgmental on circumstances, wish everyone the best and get on with it.
