Well said. I am always puzzled by claims that well-to-do, dual income families have spoilt kids or that their family lives are not happy ones.

This can't be further from the truth. Kids coming from rich families tend to do much better in school and are more progressive in their thinking. Whether boys or girls, these kids will grow up knowing and expecting to work their butts off to attain a comfortable life. These are things they see from looking at how their own parents work, conduct themselves and the income they command.

And they get the best guidance on their studies and career choices from their parents who are professionals (lawyers, accountants, doctors, architects, engineers, etc...)

And these families are also very happy, maybe not too contented, because they are always pushing themselves to do better, either in their careers or profession. They are more widely travelled, interact globally and so they know where they stand and thus the continuous push to better themselves.

Like someone once said, Singapore is but a small pond.
