It is not that simple, unfortunately. If it were, the issue would be easily fixable.

It isn't something as simple as how folks were raised, it also has to do with the environment (nature/nurture). My parents, for example, were able to purchase a home for less than $100k in a nice neighborhood. That is nowhere near the case for myself and others my age. That is a huge deal as well, as the ability to own property creates an opportunity to build wealth. The difference in the cost of higher education, energy, etc is also being ignored.

It is really the same stuff all of the time. People get older, they don't understand something younger folks do, and like all people that don't understand something they ridicule/avoid/fight/learn about it to make it less threatening to them. Out of the four of those, only one seeks understanding. The other three seek conservation because, understandably, older folks want to preserve the things that they have because life is constant change.

It is how folks are raised and their values that make the biggest difference and the research proves that.. How much you start with is another factor but not nearly as important as the first. But there are other factors for sure like how much help you give your kids or do you wash your hands after 18 and tell them they are totally on their own. But as someone who professionally tells others how to raise their kids, I can tell you that several things that increase the chances of success.

Could you cite said research? Psychologists are still debating today on nature vs. nurture, so I'm curious to see what study was done that effectively ended the debate.

How much you start with is an incredibly influential factor. Yes, an individual does have to take advantage of their situation, but having excess to start means that you have multiple opportunities that you can fail and not learn anything from the experience. I've seen plenty of kids with strict parents turn into scum of the earth because their parent(s) were too concerned with being an authority figure rather than all of the other roles a parent has to take.

Fun fact:

In ancient Rome, the old farts complained that the younger generation was going to hell because they were READING all the time...

There will never be the "end" of the debate as both sides have their champions. As an identical twin I have a perspective that tends to look at nurture more than nature since we are completely similar in genes but almost totally different in most aspects of life. 

If tomorrow you took everything I own from me I would recover and prosper. Because who I am, is not what I have or what you gave me but what I have learned and what I know. Does nature matter? Of course. I work with cognitively delayed clients who may never develop formal operational thinking which Piaget says normally develops between 12-14.  So there is a ceiling there. But 70% of folks have an IQ in the average range but the reasons some fail but most don't isnt capacity but  using the capacity you are given. I can site you a number of twin studies which is the population that most studies use to study nature versus nurture but would do it in a PM unless this topic is of interest to others. Don't want this bunny trail to derail the thread.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
