He wasn’t born into a wealthy family. His parents may support his decision, or not, but it isn’t like money wasn’t a concern.

I would say that was a pretty brave decision, or perhaps he is special

Yes it is not a wealthy family, but in terms of education for children, having parents already in academia is just as good of a privilege as wealthy parents.
