Growing under communism, my parents were dirt-poor. So after the fall I had to do it the hard way: first got a job, saved enough money to have a little runway, then start a small business, etc.

But I have nothing against people who grew up under a humane system, got help from parents or VCs and made something of themselves. Because I know plenty of bums who had everything they ever needed and did absolutely nothing with it.
