I can give you one observation from my own 2 eyes, my moms day, her grandfather was dirt poor farmer, she had 2 choices, work the fields and the farm and be independant women, or try to find some man and them move in together and try to get ahead in life - so the poverty reinforced young people spending more time and needing each other more - the old had no money to pass on and compete.

Today it is 180 difference - young working guy or military man got no money - but rich grandparents do - so if you want the big fun and adventure - young girl gonna go off with grandparents instead of me. Look this is not hypothetical these are real world experiences I share, I was going to brunswick with this one girl and hang out at st. simons island, nice weekend at the beach I thought, granddad calls her - offers her week cruise to bahamas, she say no (cause she knew it would piss me off) so then I know that selfish fugger sweeten the pot for her a little, he offer to take one of her friends, buy her a horse for her farm, and give her a lot of money for shopping. So her choice was boring weekend at the beach with me picking up shells - or wild fun adventures with super rich granddaddy and a horse she had wanted for several years - had I lived in 1930 - this girl would have chose me - but in the modern USA - the culture DIVIDES me and her, it does not UNITE us like in the past.

Look at Slagle, he went to a poorer culture to find a wife - i know this is the only way I will find a woman to raise a family like I want - looking here is pointless - like my native american indian friend says - they are all TOO RICH - but if I can go to phillipines like slagle and find some poor girl I have lots better chances - but I am meeting too many phillipine girls that are online and getting all kinds of slagle types sending them FREE MONEY and GIFTS from internet chat rooms - so I wonder if it is too late.

Bill Gates said he is not going to leave all his wealth to his kids, he gives a lot away to Africa after ted turner shamed him into it (see us southern boys really are nice folks) - he said he will only leave them 10 million - enough they can be OK - and if they want build their own empire - but not enough to buy off any major political crap without them EARNING thier power.
