Money can do and be many things to people. It can inspire, motivate, constrain, and even corrupt any given individual. Some, like the writer/philosopher Ayn Rand have even symbolized the pursuit of money and economic sucess as a noble cause, but in reality every individual's economic positions are based on a large number of varying factors, meaning some people are at a disadvantage to begin with while others have a distince advantage. These starting factors in someone's life can greatly effect the outcome of their future income, unless the indivdual themself is able to outperform their parents ecnomically.
Although I have put in theory the basic absumption that your future income is greatly affected by your parents, in realty this is subject to change. For example, someone who has wealthy parents may not feel the need to aquire a job that pays well, and may choose a career that they are acutally interested in doing even though they will never make as much as their parents, but someone who is from a faimily with little wealth might pick a high-paying job out of necessity if they have to pay off huge student loans. I can ramble on and on about this bu the bottom line is that your parents wealth is a large influence toward your fututre wealth.
