His parents were a GP and owned a pharmacy. They just didn’t get it for him/them for whatever reason.
They certainly could have afforded it if they wanted to.
There’s a massive difference between just not having something as a child and not even being able to afford it at all.

I spent a few years in England as a kid (I’m from the U.S.) when they only had 4 channels, two of which were boring (to a kid) BBC shit. That was a hardship. Having nothing at all would have been preferable because I wouldn’t have wasted so many hours flipping between 4 fucking channels hoping for something, anything interesting to watch. I usually found it more fun to play with the teletext thing they had, but there wasn’t anything interesting on that either.
