4. People who grow up with wealth are seldom illiterate..
I'm talking about people who grew up lower middle class at best.

What it really takes to get out of poverty is a single minded focus on making money, that's what I see in the people I was referring to in my previous post.

Illiteracy by no means implies that someone is stupid, illiterate people often have very good memories, they have to because so much of what those of us who are literate take for granted (eg. road signs) are not available to them so they have to remember all these things.

I practically grew up in the library and it never did squat for me financially, I would argue the opposite now from the perspective I have today, I would have been far better off financially going out and just concentrating on making and accumulating money.
