Growing up, my family was poor. I paid 100% for my education while working part time.

My wife grew up in a poor family from a 3rd world country, moved to canada with only a suitcase and 100$. She worked a night shift full time and while going to school during the day. A few yrs later she had a degree, quit her 12$/hr job for one over 30.

There's always a way for those willing to work hard, you might not make it to the top, but you definitely can improve your condition.
