Fuck that noise.

A lot of people are born into "privileged" circumstances in america. That is one factor. Not the only one.

To quote MMM:

"Sure, privilege does exist, and it might make it easier or harder to inherit a company or win a senate seat. But it can’t control your choice to ride a bike, buy less shit, or read library books in your spare time and I argue that frugality is the most powerful factor in earning your independence. After all, most of my equally-privileged engineering coworkers are still stuck in the office to this day." - http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/04/01/impossible-dream/
