In regards to Erikas latest story which shows she reads here.. Erika first main job after graduating was given to her by her dad - working on her dad's company. I don't think people assume you get handouts, but yes your parents did help you get where you are in many ways. You are not exactly from an unprivileged background Erika. Far from it. Maybe if you didn't work for daddy's company, you could claim you didn't need that boost to get where you are. That helped surely.
If you wanted people to think you didn't come from an unprivileged background, don't put your mums designer clothes that you often wear on social media, or the fancy House which the banks should owe, or basically all the ways you're showing you're not the "typical" Irish family just about getting by right now. You're right though, your parents did show you how to work hard... Have you done anything in Ireland yet with the grant money that you received? About 20k? Yeah they showed you how to work hard...work the Irish system to get money you shouldn't more like it. Same as their fancy house which they should no longer owe.
Maybe you didn't have money when very young, but please don't put a post up claiming you got where you are without any help just to make yourself look good. I cannot stand that crap when it's so obviously false and undermines people that came from nothing to do well.
