Remarkable really when you consider where I was raised.

You are fortunate in your ability to be able to work for those earnings. Not everyone is so fortunate. You refer to equal opportunity. Do you honestly believe that people from unequal backgrounds have equal opportunity? The child born into a background of poverty does not even have an equal opportunity of education to the child of a middle class family. This in turn directs them to lower income occupations or unemployment. How can people invest their assets wisely if they have never had the opportunity to aquire assets?
