They put my brother through a bit of school - I left home at 18 on unamicable terms over my sexual orientation. Its a competitive world but spending every waking minute of your time on things that will give you resources will not give you the skillset needed to enjoy the resources you get. If you're trying to climb the socioeconomic ladder make sure you ask yourself whether its really worth it.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Absolutely true. I don't disparage my parents their decisions - their lives conditioned them to react and act the way they did and do. I'm glad to have the perspective relatively early on - things do not buy happiness.

Reading (but not the news) and having diverse friendships could also work.
