I think I understand what you're trying to say... Anyone, regardless of their family's material wealth, should consider themselves blessed if they had a secure childhood, loving parents who forged them into adults, and a roof over their head. I think it's a shame that a great deal of youth don't have this in today's world. :o(
Most parents don't care if Johnny takes the family car and stays out until 1:00 in the morning... Or whether or not they actually spend any time together... And this phenomenon isn't restricted to upper-class families, either...
If you grew up in a secure home with parents who cared you you, Mum, you are wealthier than you could ever imagine possible. And no amount of yearly income could ever reflect that...
