    I thought poor people were poor because they spend all their money on avocado toast, while rich people eat bootstraps or something like that

    Being smart too.

    If your parents are rich you would have gone to the better funded schools with better teachers and better clubs/programs and focus on those with your stress-free lifestyle to grow up smarter.
