Coin Flip

In class we did this activity were everybody started out with the same amount of coins (3) and you would flip a coin to decide who takes the other persons coins. Well after about 5 mins there ended up with most people having a few or none. There a few people with having like around 10 or  so and one person having around 40 coins. Well then are teacher told us how this relates to life, some people have most of the money, some have a decent amount of money and most have almost no money compared to the top of the the list of income. Well, i realized that for me living in a middle class family, with a decent family income compared to the top, its almost im possible to make it to the top its like flipping a coin only the lucky make it to the top.
