Who gets better prepared in face
life
 - the
children
 who were raised lavishly or in a destitute condition, is debatable. I agree that
children
 who are raised in lower-income families are better equipped to face
life
 than those who came from ultra-rich
parents
. For several reasons, many believe that
children
 who were raised in middle and lower-income families are better prepared to deal with problems of adult
life
.
Firstly
, they learnt early in
life
 the value of relationships, sharing and caring, as they had no other choice but to share their bedrooms, treats and other essential items with other family members and friends.
For example
, learning to survive on a low income and sacrificing luxuries for necessities, these
children
 learnt from the struggles of their
parents
 and social environment.
As a result
 of
this
, they may become great team players, leaders and managers when they grow up as they learnt to stay content, share, responsibility, and teamwork.
Secondly
, these
children
 are taught survival skills from a very early age. Many
children
,
for instance
, work on weekends or holidays to collect some money or to contribute to the family's income. A good example is
children
 who accompany their
parents
 to farmer's markets to sell the produce, contributing directly to the family income.
Moreover
,
children
 who are raised in rich households will face difficulties when they grow up and deal with real-world problems. One of the reasons is that their
parents
 have always provided them with all the materials they wanted and needed.
For example
, Most celebrity kids get fancy clothes, expensive toys and the latest gadgets without having to work hard for them and eventually they get so used to relying heavily on their parent's wealth that they find it hard to deal with problems as adults. To conclude, the upbringing of
children
 defines what they will become in the future. Since households with less money have to teach
children
 to work hard, save money and become satisfied with the things they have, they are better prepared for
life
 than their rich counterparts who got everything ready for them from their families.
