Hi Mike!
Just curious, what about those children (let's say 1 child out of a family of 8 children in a poor, uneducated family) that goes on to college, is financially successful, and then has 1 or 2 children only later in life? Their environment (and their children's environment) is at polar opposites of their own relatives'. I use this as an example because I actually have quite a few friends that fall into this category that I've made during my life so far. Some of them are from different countries.
How does that impact any of this?
