I grew up middleclass here in America. I was very entitled as a teenager. My parents kicked me out at 17. For 5 years I lived without air conditioning, I had to flush the toilet with a bucket of water, had to shower in a sink with no heat in that room in the winter. Always drove cars that looked like they fell from the sky. Went hungry often. It completely changed my outlook on the world for the better. Im much happier now. I wish their was a way to simulate something like that for my kids without being an asshole and forcing it on them.
