2. Father finished college
3. Mother went to college
4. Mother finished college
5. Have any relative who is an attorney, physician, or professor (not close family)
6. Were the same or higher class than your high school teachers (Teachers' backgrounds differed so...)
7. Had more than 50 books in your childhood home (I used to read a book a day from the library when I was in grade school, and my parents read books from the library too, especially my mother)
8. Had more than 500 books in your childhood home
9. Were read children's books by a parent
10. Had lessons of any kind before you turned 18 (ballet, music, swimming, writing, and tennis)
11. Had more than two kinds of lessons before you turned 18
12. The people in the media who dress and talk like me are portrayed positively (You know, I don't think the media portrays me at all. If only by race, then yes)
13. Had a credit card with your name on it before you turned 18
14. Your parents (or a trust) paid for the majority of your college costs (costs after scholarships)
15. Your parents (or a trust) paid for all of your college costs (Certainly couldn't do that if I had kids)
16. Went to a private high school
17. Went to summer camp
18. Had a private tutor before you turned 18
19. Family vacations involved staying at hotels
20. Your clothing was all bought new before you turned 18 (But I would buy from thrift stores too. I did use the money I earned to pay for most of my clothes in high school.)
21. Your parents bought you a car that was not a hand-me-down from them
22. There was original art in your house when you were a child (Yes, but my parents are artists...)
23. You and your family lived in a single family house
24. Your parent(s) owned their own house or apartment before you left home
25. You had your own room as a child
26. You had a phone in your room before you turned 18

28. Had your own TV in your room
29. Owned a mutual fund or IRA in High School or College
30. Flew anywhere on a commercial airline before you turned 16
31. Went on a cruise with your family
32. Went on more than one cruise with your family
33. Your parents took you to museums and art galleries as you grew up
34. You were unaware of how much heating bills were for your family
What I find sad about this is that if I had kids, I wouldn't be able to give them the same privileges that I had. :/
