"When you grow up you better be ready for bills and working everyday." Why do adults tell children these things? Why do they condemn them to being average.

Total respect here, but I suspect it’s because they’re parents speaking to children. The life goals between men with kids and men without are separated by an ocean and they create separate lifestyles.

It's some tonality there as well, I hear people say it in a way that sounds like they hate doing it!

Yeah, that’s a beast. In that case it’s probably a lot like my dad: Came from a trailer park with an abusive stepdad and lived in poverty with only what his total lack of education could get him for employment. Even when opportunities flitted by, he couldn’t recognize them.

His life was working 70-80 hours a week at jobs he loathed to feed his family. No one ever taught him better. When you’ve only been trained to see blue, people talking about red is alien to you.

Now he runs an internet business his friends showed him how to build, but he clings to it in desperation because he grew up so destitute that money seems like fog: all around you, but never able to be grasped.
