The only thing I feel I missed out on was a real, cohesive, and intelligent upbringing. But I figured that out for myself. |
Never heard before that such opinions exist tbh, but if one thing I found scary in being poor in the US is the sheer amount of 'poor people', i.e. whoever receive support in one form or another, amount of people without any kind of savings or retirement plan, overblown social sector in general not supported by the real earnings, pensions 'invested' in god knows where akin to IRC 401k plan etc. The situation exists in other places to various degrees of similarity, I know it's gonna blow and that's scary.
