I guess what I’m trying to say is that there are systematic, societal factors at work that can prevent people from being rich, both financially and mentally. I am lucky to be reasonably comfortable in both senses. But I realize it is just that — mostly luck. If I had different parents, or was born somewhere else, or didn’t have access to the opportunities that I did, my life would have turned out very differently.
