My wife and I talked about this tonight. We both grew up knowing teens who were better off than we were, and those who were not as well off. We know how many of them have "turned out". We both came up with many examples of the former who didn't do as well as expected, and the latter who did surprisingly well.
So much to the chagrin of our current president who would love to see everyone rely on/be subservient to the government, there are still plenty of success stores.
