For a different approach on the socio-economic background's influence on growing up (and eventually growing old), check out the very interesting "Up Series" [0].
It's a British documentary series that starts out with interviews with kids at age 7 from different backgrounds, and then interviews the same group of people every 7 years (14 Up, 21 Up, you get the idea). They've come to "63 Up" so far.

There is an interesting documentary series based on that quote. Started in 1964 and every 7 years after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Series
If you haven't seen the Up Series, it is a documentary series about 14 children that were selected from different social classes in the UK. Each episode is seven years apart. It has had eight episodes.
56 Up was the first one I had seen. And it really does give you a sense of mortality and how quick life's years can go by, in a blur of routine.
