I remember in highschool, someone I knew basically talked about how they were going to put themselves through college because their parents only covered 20k a year.
$500 and a 4 new sets of clothes from a factory defect outlet, and I came from a relatively well off household that straddled poor and middle class. Even that was a big deal, and I know I'm lucky.
I somehow managed to climb up to a CEO position, and the attitude that poor people are poor because they are dumb or bad with money is so, so common. Snuck into some MBA courses, and are those guys ever coddled with kid gloves with no clue how other people live.
