I made a topic last week about a kid I went to HS with, who robbed a bank 5 years ago, and is currently vacationing in Turks and Caicos.

Today, I stumbled upon the IG of another old HS classmate. This one takes the cake.

Shes like 25, has lived in Thailand and now Hawaii. Works as dive master and underwater videographer.

Shell never have a real job. She lives in paradise. Her duties are swimming in beautiful oceans, and taking pictures of rare sea life. All because her parents are rich.

For context, this is the house she grew up in. Had to drive by to get to school every day. Must be nice to live like a fucking Kardashian. (Pic for reference)

Meanwhile, Im over here touching used tissues in peoples bags. Never been on vacation. Had to buy all my own vehicles. Etc

Just kinda frustrating

Most of my brain is occupied with the fantasy of me being born into money. I fucking despise people with rich parents, but really only if they're the fucking numbskulls like this idiot

Eh, just leave them be with their lives and concentrate on improving your own if you're unhappy with it. No point wasting energy on negative outlooks about things you have no control over.

Some people are just lucky and thats one of the benefits of becoming wealthy. You can be the first in your family to build wealth, but ill tell you one thing is that the majority started off in poverty or low income just like where you are now.

Pretty much this. Focus on YOU. You can get to where they are too with hard work and dedication. Who knows, some spoiled kids might end up living on the streets because they spent all their riches.

Being jealous of other people is a pointless exercise. Not to say I don't get it. I was pretty resentful of people who grew up more affluent than me when I was younger.

But a big turning point in terms of my financial success was when I stopped worrying about what other people have and focusing on my own life. Now i'm kind of happy that I grew up lower middle class. It made me who I am, and nobody can tell me I was handed what I have. It's cliche but some things are more important than money, that's one for me

That said it does still piss me off to see people get off easy for committing a crime that would land a poorer person in prison for years. But that's just a failure of the legal system

There are people born with no limbs. Crack babies born addicted. Kids are sold to pedo rings and used as sex slaves. There are people born in third world countries that die from malnutrition/dehydration.

Life is too short to dwell on what you dont have. Be grateful for what you do have. Many would kill to be as blessed as you.

I grew up with people that had houses like that. We were like top 3 richest counties in the country when I was in school, so I've seen plenty.

But the majority of those kids are still living in their parents house, no job, no life, nothing really at all. It's best to just leave them be.

You're allowed to vent about not being the lucky wealthy 1%. Just know you sound petty and entitled and no one feels bad for you.

Indeed. The other thing a lot of people don't acknowledge is that great wealth is a group effort. You need the right environment to be able to take on those opportunities and thrive. My dad paid for my college tuition (helps that I went to community college before I transferred) and as a result of him shouldering the financial burden, I'll be able to pay him back in full + retirement within the next year or so.

Idk man, not living basically paycheck to paycheck would do wonders lol.

Id really like to do some traveling, but cant afford, or get that time off of work.

Cant finish college without putting myself 50k in debt, having to switch careers fields. Id have to go while working full time, which I know people do, but would be hard for me with our pets.

Or maybe you can start by becoming a better person yourself and fixing your awful personality and donate to people in need so that more people can have a better life. Or you can spend your time being toxic and lashing out at strangers on the internet so you can attempt to hurt others the way you've been hurt and getting repeatedly banned for it. I suppose that's easier.

Im sure its harder with kids than pets. We have 5, 2 dogs and 3 cats. Cats would be fine, but I cant just leave my dogs locked up the entire day.

As far as kids go, I want them, but know I cant currently afford them. I wouldnt be able to truly provide, I dont want them to worry about any financial stress.

Then what about royalty? Not only are they born into a life a privilege, but they literally have the country paying their bills for them. And if they do even a little good with all the time on their hands they're treated like saints.
Then in places like Japan not only do they live that privileged life, but they can "retire" from this "stressful" lifestyle and continue to live off the taxpayers money.

It's just the way it's been for literally thousands of years. At least you can consider the fantasy of marrying into such a family.
