It is often believed that children who come from less fortunate socioeconomic backgrounds grow up better equipped to deal with life’s obstacles in comparison to kids who grew up with wealth. This essay agrees with the former and will explain why I agree with said statement.
Being raised less financially stable than other people you may see in your day to day life can prove to be a challenge, especially in the eyes of youngins who have little to no grasp of what money is and why it is so important in our day to day life. However, growing up in these conditions can greatly benefit the kids who deal with them, and provide them with certain skills necessary to adjust to a range of conditions. For example, having access to limited money, these offspring learn to preserve and wisely spend the money they have access to. Ambition and hard work are also skills commonly learned by children who grew up less fortunate as it is commonly the only thing that sets them apart and gives them an advantage over those around them.
On the contrary, offspring who grow up well off financially can often end up spoiled and heavily rely on their parents for financial support. That isn’t to say all descendents of wealthy families end up successful in life. Having financial stability often means these youngsters can learn the financial skills necessary to progress in life without the trauma and fear that comes with being forced to learn it to survive. Many offspring of wealthy individuals tend to end up doing extremely well in life due to the financial support and advantages they have received throughout their childhood and adolescence.
In conclusion, though both views offer strong, valid arguments, I stand with the notion that people brought up in families who do not have access to large amounts of money are more well equipped to deal with future struggles in life, simply because they are often obligated to learn said skills to survive.
