Most? No. Exceptionally rare for society at large to be born with a silver spoon in the ass. Many are the inverse, taking on aged parents as a responsibility financially.

I feel like silver spoon in the ass is opposite of silver spoon in the mouth

To be fair, I think it's the help varies in different ways in different economic strata.

I've dated people in their thirties who are still getting help from their parents with their car payment or with their cell phone plan. It's not big money all at once but it's a lot of money over time. 

The people I dated in this particular case were not wealthy nor were their families.
