The One Thing Rich Parents Do For Their Kids That Makes All The Difference

May 11, 2016 Leave a Comment

The one thing rich parents do for their kids that makes all the difference is that “they can buy their children pricey homes in nice neighborhoods with good school districts,” said Emily Badger on The Washington Post. “Wealthy parents are famously pouring more and more into their children, widening the gap in who has access to piano lessons and math tutors and French language camp. The biggest investment the rich can make in their kids, though — one with equally profound consequences for the poor — has less to do with enrichment than real estate.” Ann Owens, a sociologist at the University of Southern California, explained: “Forty to fifty years of social-science research tells us what an important context neighborhoods are, so buying a neighborhood is probably one of the most important things you can do for your kid. There’s mixed evidence on whether buying all this other stuff matters, too. But buying a neighborhood basically provides huge advantages.” (washingtonpost.com)
