picking the right parents is also very helpful...

I know many who started off with the proverbial silver spoon and ended
up without a pot to pee in

There is more than one gets from parents, than just the money.

All money that I earned is mine, but,I could not get to where I am,
without their influence etc.

Ditto. My parents encouraged me to read and nurtured my innate
curiosity, while passing on their excellent sense of right and wrong.
I'm a much better person for it and I thank them for it repeatedly.

I did have some financial help through the years ($500 here, $1k
there) and they let me buy their rental house from them at zero
interest.
