How did your family get out of poverty

My paternal 's family by all account were illiterate farmers and laborers for hundreds of years with nothing but a small patch of land to their name
so my grandfather at the age of 14 joined the Royal Navy as a Boy seaman
he stayed,studied and worked hard to reach the rank of Lt. Commander(not a practically high rank but still something)
my father too Joined the Navy as a cadet and retired a couple years ago with the Rank of Captain and my uncle is currently a major in the Army
My family is not incredibly rich of anything but compared to my other relatives we are much better of

You are very rich. Asalamaleikum

wow

My grandfather was a priest and other one was a mechanic.
My father was the first one to get a bachelor's and a master's degree so we owe it to him.

ohno, we got poor
grandparents on both sides were either rich but middle class minimum
my father and mother wasted everything and they also divorced, thanks retards

Raising your social status by joining the army is typical for third world authoritarian countries and the US.

I dunno lol. Both sides of my family have always been at least middle class.

We were always lower-middle class. But my parents lived very frugally and I'm the only son so I'm actually quite well off personally as I inherited their property + they gave me quite a lot of money.

>thanks retards
kek how can you talk about your parents like that

My mom was already middle class because her grandparents were successful farmers. My dad was in a pinch because my grandma ended up single and with schizophrenia before he was born. He started working at 13 and joined the muhreens. Fast forward to today and he's been a member of the postal service for a few decades.
