    Honestly you don’t need your family to be rich. A family well-off enough to give you:

    • Good financial education
    • Doesn’t kick you out at 18 or require rent
    • Pays your tuition (maybe not in the US)
    • Supporting in your endeavors
    • Family loans (not having to pay interest is massive)

    Makes a HUGE difference.

        Yep. Like merc@sh.itjust.works said at the end of their reply:

        I guarantee that most of the kids that come from rich families have no idea what it’s like not to be rich. As a result, they don’t ever consider that it might not be normal to be able to have your dad’s lawyer look over the contracts for your new company free of charge. They never think of how easy they had it to find investors for their company, and how forgiving those investors were. It never occurred to them that during those lean months at the beginning when their company hadn’t yet started generating real revenue, that it was unusual to be able to live in their parents’ spare apartment in the city, and to have dad pay off their credit card.
