Good post. Parents who display materialistic, greedy attributes will raise children with similar attributes. Their greed and lust for more and more money will make their children demand from them more and more money. Their children will use the money to indulge in branded bags, watches, etc, clubbing, drinking alcohol, smoking, engage in pre marital sex with many partners, substance abuse, etc. The parents will destroy their children with their wealth. The curse of too much money and materialism.

It may be true for jobs where the remuneration are based on volume of the output. Examples are sales job, tradesmen type of work. Taxi drivers are a good example. For them, to earn a higher income they will have to drive more hours.

For professionals, this is not quite true. University professors earn a decent salary ($200k pa) and they don't have to work that many hours as a lowly production operator. Likewise for other skilled and highly qualified professionals.

In fact, the irony is that the lower income typically have to work two to three jobs to support their families leaving very little time for themselves and their loved ones. The truth is that families with high HH incomes have a lot more choices and quality time together. They go out together in their family cars, they go holidays together, they indulge in interesting hobbies together, they eat in restaurants where they can hear each other talk instead of being drowned out by the crowd.

What children grow to be depends on both nature and nurture. Nature is based by your genes. Parents with nasty disposition will likely pass this on to their children, whether they are at home lazing around or working hard to earn big money.

That's all for now. Gotta go.
