Imagine two kids who both want to grow up and be rich. One lives in a neighborhood with good schools, lots of jobs, and people who help each other out. The other lives somewhere else, maybe the school isn’t great, and it’s harder to find work. That difference can make one person reach higher than the other. It's like playing on a field where one side has more tools to win.
Examples
- A kid in a wealthy neighborhood gets private tutoring, while another learns on their own with a few books.
- One person’s family helps them buy a house early, the other struggles to afford rent.
- Someone grows up with parents who know how to manage money; the other learns it through trial and error.
