&quot;Having parents&quot;, &quot;having supportive parents&quot;, &quot;having parents with resources (that can come in multiple forms like time, knowledge, connections, and money) that they are willing and able to use on you&quot;, and &quot;having a place that you can live in potentially rent-free whether or you&#x27;re going to college, working, or need to return to if you lose your job&quot; are things that some don&#x27;t consider advantages, even though they should. Those things are  springboards and safety nets that not everyone has access to.
