my sec4 RI GEP class (1994 class 4K) had 22 students, 14 of stayed in HDB estates, balance private residences (mainly landed). Please note this is obviously a lower ratio than the 80/20 for the general population but it is only to be expected I suppose.

I did not come from a well-to-do family though my parents worked hard to make sure we were never in serious need. I grew up in Sembawang Kampong then Yishun HDB. Today I am financially free and retired from full time work, and most people will consider me reasonably wealthy at the age of 34.

as for success stories, the 1st class students in economics/nus my graduation year both came from humble backgrounds and doing very well today.

Hi, Godjira 1 , By any standard, you are successful. You have retired from full time work, how do you make a living now ? Hope you can share if you wish, thanks.
