Ask HN: If I am so smart, why I am not rich? (ycombinator.com)
I grew up very modestly, borderline poverty. None of my extended family/friend went to college, I was the first one to graduate from college later in life.

Genetics, not shared envs, drives parent-child similarities in intelligence (psypost.org)
How much of your cognitive ability is shaped by your genetic inheritance compared to the environment you grow up in? A new study published in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility suggests that the transmission of cognitive ability from parents to children is primarily driven by genetics, with little influence from shared environmental factors like family resources. The findings challenge traditional assumptions in social mobility research that often attribute these correlations primarily to socio-economic status.
