I didn’t have a rich family. My parents were poor for my entire childhood, and remained poor until their deaths. All other relatives are poor too (very small family). I’m not rich by any means; just financially comfortable.

Most success stories I’ve heard from people who brought themselves out of poverty, had no political “odor” to them at all. Having enough spare time to think about politics seems like a bit of a luxury when you’re too busy trying to survive while also working towards carefully planned goals. In fact, if such a success story smells political even a little bit, and it’s on the Internet, then yeah, it’s probably not to be trusted.

How?

As a guy who clawed my way out of poverty, I can warn you: People who state those opinions on the Internet almost never want to hear about a success story — even if it could help others. (Not that downvotes even matter though)
