Rich people can buy high-quality private education to make up for the shortage, while low-income families just want to rely on free compulsory education. If they don't find a way to turn on the stove, the doll will really have no way out when it grows up!
However, if you think that the difference between the rich second generation and the poor second generation is only because of the RMB, it is still naive. What's the difference between children of the rich and children of the poor?
First, family wealth affects children's long-term vision.
Children from poor families dare not put their real interests first when they graduate from college, and go where they earn more money. Pay attention to the salary, and you will be grateful if it exceeds three or five hundred yuan, because the salary has a far-reaching impact on the quality of life. The children of the rich never consider small money such as houses and cars. When they enter an industry, they can completely follow their own hearts and have full freedom of choice. They have a long-term vision and will never let the small interests in front of them bind their hands and feet. They think more about the experience of the industry, accumulate effective contacts, learn the rules of the industry, and start a business when the time is ripe.
When I was in high school, I had a female classmate who opened several stores at home and had a very good family. I like to draw ink paintings. When I graduated from college, I didn't go to a foreign company or a civil servant like we squeezed the wooden bridge. Instead, I draw pictures according to orders, and my daily income is only two or three hundred. A few years later, when the time was right, she set up her own studio. Due to long-term accumulation, the annual profit soon exceeded one million.
Even though I knew I might succeed, I didn't have the courage to wait like this rich girl, because poor children can't afford to lose. The more people you have, the less afraid you are of losing. Children from poor families have no chance to wait patiently, and the pressure of life makes them think more about immediate interests.
Second, family wealth affects children's ability to resist risks.
I don't know if you have carefully inspected the parents of those post-90 s entrepreneurial stars. Their fathers, without exception, were born after 60 with high cultural level, and struggled for certain wealth in the early days of reform and opening up. These post-60s are now the pillars of China society. They have enough ability to provide their children with a good material living environment and educational conditions. It is the good economic foundation laid by their parents that makes these newborn calves after 90 not afraid of tigers and have the confidence to let go: anyway, business is losing money, and there are wealth management benefits at home, so they will not starve to death.
In contrast, the migrant workers who went out to work 20 years ago, their children stayed at home. As parents, they didn't have the time and energy to take care of their children, and they didn't have enough resources to improve their children. They just live hard. However, their children born in 1980s and 1990s still drop out of middle school at will, and then set foot on the old road of their parents going to work in cities, and then they are still squeezed on the edge of the bustling city. A few of these people are still determined to change their lives, but only a small part. Children from rural areas, even in the face of opportunities, it is difficult to stick to it. It is a naked reality that it is difficult for poor families to have expensive children.
Third, rich children have a broader vision, while poor children are relatively lacking.
Do you think the rich really only have money? Wealth is only an appearance, and more importantly, it is the possession of social resources and high-quality contacts. Through the contact of parents, the children of rich people have much broader horizons, contacts and resources than the children of poor families, and it is difficult for children of poor families to get these resources.
A man in Zhihu said it was realistic. Is standing on the shoulders of giants the same as standing on a firewood pile? Why did Liu Chuanzhi's daughter Liu Qing graduate from Harvard and become the president of Didi, and her niece Liu Zhen was also an executive of Uber in China? Simple: create the second generation of resource transfer.
The rich and the poor also have differences in mentality. Sometimes, the poor are more willing to complain about society, hate their lack of connections, and make excuses for their failure when they are not doing well. The rich, on the other hand, complain less, find reasons from themselves and seize the next opportunity to work hard silently. When I was a child, I lived in a shabby neighborhood with many poor people. Twenty years later, I found that many children inherited their parents' complaints and hostility to society and their parents' poverty. And I have seen many rich people lose their wealth in an instant, but they don't cry or complain, and they come back 20 years later. These advantages are also subtly given to their children. Therefore, it is not so much money as that many rich second generations have inherited this mentality!
Fourth, rich people can afford to stay-at-home mothers and spend more time with their children.
A very realistic factor is that parents of poor families often need to be busy making money to support their families. They are busy every day and have little time to interact with their children. Wealthy families usually have a full-time mother who will accompany their children to win at the starting line. While children from poor families are still waiting for their mothers to come home, children from rich families are already taking expensive early education classes.
Of course, I think this is actually the smallest gap between rich and poor families, because companionship pays more attention to quality than absolute time. However, when you can't go home early to accompany your children because of your livelihood, you will definitely feel that having money is a good thing.
The gap between the rich and the poor is not only money, but also vision, way of thinking and educational philosophy!
Education has never been achieved by "children's own efforts". Where you can see, where you can't see, it is the competition between the rich and the poor. Do you think that the education of rich people depends on real money to go to cram schools and travel abroad several times? No! High-quality contacts, ways of thinking, educational ideas and companionship time have far-reaching effects on your children than RMB, and quietly complete the intergenerational transmission of wealth!
In this era, it is difficult to give birth to a noble child. As a parent, you can't slack off, because you are the shoulder for children to take off, and you are the starting line for children!
