Economic Situations..

Alright Sal-

Since you have been complaining about my blogs I'm going to make this one extra good so you better read it!

Anyways, After we played monopoly in class it made me realize how luck truthfully determines how people will live their lives. You are lucky if you are born into a wealthy family, and you are lucky if you are able to move up a class as you grow up. People who are born into poor families are not given the same opportunities as people who are born into wealthy families. If you are born into a wealthy family you have the opportunity to go study abroad, or go to a private school, and go to summer camp. Poor families cannot do this. If you are not given these opportunities as a child is it very hard for you to grow up and have the same opportunities as those who were born into wealthy families. My friend and I were in the car today and we started talking about how we feel so much older than we are. We started talking about how we feel like we could be at that point where you could give us our own apartment and job and bills to pay and it would almost be easier than being part of a family. Now, both of us are very well off, and were one of those lucky kids who were born into a family of upper middle class, however, being able to just worry about yourself and not having to worry about your family holding you back is nice. Your family determines a lot about what opportunities you will have. Not only with money, but also with their morals and values. If your family does not want you moving far away from home, than you may be stuck going to collage in Illinois when you would be going some where in the east coast, and possibly getting a better job because you went to that collage. Anyways, It is all just fascinating, It is like a domino effect in some ways. I hope you enjoyed that Sal.
