A fool and their money is easily parted.

Build a business structure that sucks those people dry and have fun.

I despise people like that, but eventually they lose it all, so the best idea is to put yourself in a position to profit from their stupidity.

I don't really see what it matters how anyone else got their money unless they fucked you over to get it.

I don't give a shit about super rich people. Half of them worked for it, other half have silver spoon. Eitherway, it doesn't effect me. More power to them, I wish I was born with silver spoon.

My father 8 years ago won 60.000€ in the lottery, he said he would give me 6k (i was 19 back then).

He spent it all on his mates and his gf, you know, holidays here and there, jewelry for the daim et al.

Never got one penny, and frankly im glad he didnt give me any as i would of blown it on naughty girls and parties.

He now has nothing left of it, not a single investment out of it.

But now the tables have turned, because what was a 'one-off lottery' for him is as of date a bad business month for me.

Ironic...

The only silver spoon fed c*nts that piss me off are the royal families and their leeches.

Other than that....meh....win some lose some.

Ok a couple of thoughts...

1. You're fucking jealous. It's a totally normal human emotion, so don't feel too bad about it. Just realize that it's not going to do you any good. How about you spend the same amount of time analyzing what their parents did to make their money.

2. Just because they have money doesn't mean they have a happy, fulfilled life. Sure they might be spoiled etc, but that's only their parents way of making up for neglecting them for years. There's no time to play Polly Princess with your daughter when you're obsessed with working your ass off to earn millions of dollars. That hot little spoiled 17yr old slut with 5 shopping bags and a purse full of coke is only acting out and getting gangbanged by five guys in Italy because she hates daddy. It's a cliche because it's true.

3. "I'm helpless, like a rich man's child" - Bob Dylan
These people can never take care of themselves. You think they are going to run the family business after dad is dead? Hah! Most millionaires in America are self-made. Hopefully he left enough money to take care of them, because they are going to be fucking worthless to society. I have to wonder about how many spoiled rich kids that have a terrible life now after their parents lost a shitload in the economy crash. Personally I'd rather work for my shit, because then I'll appreciate it more.


(Yeah I know there are awesome, productive rich kids out there. I know a few. But I also know a lot more of the above. Hopefully this makes OP feel better )

Based on my personal experience I would never want to want to be one of those kids as tempting as it is to be jealous of them.

1. I am the first generation of my family out of the mob. Watching some of the old family videos of my mom, and my 6 aunts and uncles as teenagers is fuckin disgusting how loaded and entitled they were. Now that the grandparents and companies and all the money is gone because no one was fit to take over. looking at parents/aunts/uncles now, they're all dirt welfare broke, have a ton of kids they can't support, skillless (except my mom who has a shitton of college degrees) and basically can't even take care of themselves. No thank you for that lifestyle.

2. Poor friends are better friends. As the song goes You get by with a little help from your friends. Rich friends are flaky, poor friends stick by you no matter what and you can have fun in any circumstance. I've had the same best friends since elementary school and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Get rich and get rich friends? Fuck that. Money can't buy what I already have.

3. Being poor is more fun. Think about it. You're bored and you want to have some fun. If you're rich and bored what do you do? You go spend money. If you're poor what do you do? You hatch an elaborate scheme to come up with some quick cash, execute, SUCCESS, then go spend it. Often times the pursuit of the money is the real adventure.

Used to have someone that hung around with me until I pointed out the fact that I work 50+ hours a week for a living, not the 20 and under that he did, nor do I work for my parents, nor do my parents give me rent/mortgage money on top of a full time paycheck that he openly bitches isn't enough money...my parents don't pay my rent, nor do they have anything to do with my financial well being.

My problem with him was that he liked to brag about how well he was doing for himself, and how he was self made.

Let's not forget to mention how he asked me not to say anything to mutual friends about:

1- how mommy bought his house

2- how mommy bought his wife's engagement ring (that she "lost" when she found out he didn't pay 1 nickel for it)

3- and the only reason that mommy was able to do all these things is that she married well ( on the fifth gold mining expedition ) to a guy who was to dumb to have a prenuptial agreement signed and she runs new hubby's business like it's her own personal piggy bank.

Something given with out being earned has no value, and people who are given everything have no value - except to motivate me to be what they try to pretend to be.

So I called him a spoiled momma's boy, and he went and cried about it in his moms..."his" house

dchuk

Meh, everyone's life circumstances are different, who cares if someone is born into wealth or not, it has no impact on your life.

What I was jealous of were traits I saw in other kids parent's that weren't in mine. I'm not going to go into personal specifics, but I can vividly remember that feeling.

GerardWon

A guy I knew was given a grocery story in the Bronx by his dad when he was 18 -- not a huge one like a Pathmark but still a fuckin goldmine.

So a few years later this nigga's wearing a 20K Rolex driving BMW M cars and walking around with at least 8K in cash in his pocket... comes up to me and bitches that he can't find any chicks that are interested in him for who he is and not his money. See that kinda irritated me.

Good lord some of you guys watch way to much TV.

Fact - There are spoonies at all levels of the wealth curve. People with cameras and your own behavior patterns on facebook make the more enviable scum bags stand out.

U mad?

It ain fair. Deal with it.

If you want to generalize a little closer to reality how about......

People who won the genetic lottery aint all a bunch of wine tasting bums with daddies credit card. If anything daddy is likely a hell of a lot more responsible guy then Mr. working class hero; and Mommies probably smart well educated and grade A genetic material that managed to catch Daddies eye.

You really don't think intelligent responsible people can raise anything other then spoilt brats?
Fuck in my book all getting the above does is result in a heck of a lot higher expectations. Sure, with those higher expectations comes far better guidance, role models, better educational opportunities, nutrition, possibly genetics shit a whole bushel of things.

I would bet you 3 white socks that "silver spoon" backgrounds produce a hell of a lot higher percentage of "winners" then any other demographic.

Sure pulling yourself up by the boots makes a hell of a lot better story but in the end you get to the same place.

Taking all that shit away from people is just being a fuckin communist amd would hurt society as a whole. Quit being a bunch of jelous assholes. Sure it aint fair, but being a hater won't make your life any better and society acting on that hate results in EVERYBODY losing.

TLDR- U mad?

It's tough being 21 and the ONLY one out of your friends that is doing anything productive. Even my friends in college are fucking bums and get everything handed to them.

and the few I know that have jobs are DONE when they get off. I never feel like I'm done. It's kinda lonely >.>

Welcome to the club. Most people are fucking lazy as fuck and do the bare minimum required to be comfortable but again who gives a flying fuck. Those same people will end up being your employees one day. Consider your self lucky to have the mindset you have at such an early age.

The last thing this world needs is another guy with a 3 series. If it has to be a BMW, go for a 760Li or die.

adionline

Meh, I have one. Easier to maintain and cheap when bought used. Didn't have to blow an ungodly amount of money for a decent car. 7 series is way to problematic and expensive to maintain. To each their own though.

megatabbers

Hate to point this out to you dude, but you're not only jealous... you're green with envy.

Seriously though... who gives a fuck? You'll be happy that you paid for your 335 in cash, and that's fantastic. But what about when some other little snot rolls by in a shiny new 911 or lambo, also paid for by daddy?

Will that make you "angry"?

Realize that there will always be someone richer, more personable, have better girls, a better life, etc., etc., etc.... and it doesn't fucking matter.

Like the sunscreen song says, "in the end, you're only competing with yourself".

And BTW, you're being marketed to. You're becoming victim to your own poison. BMW wants you to look at this kid and envy him so you'll work harder to buy one.

And marketing aside bro, STOP LIVING IN THIS BITCH'S MOVIE! She is in YOUR movie, not the other way around. You don't like other people making you upset with what they do? What they own? Dumb shit they say? Their lack of work ethic? Want revenge? Want to just kick the shit out of a rich kid sometimes? The best revenge is not success. The best revenge is to ELIMINATE them from your fucking reality.

Would you let another man walk up and just physically impose his will on you without defending yourself? Then why the hell are you letting some rich chick do it? She's not affecting your body, she's actually in your mind now. Dude, don't get taken like that. You're gonna get old, you're gonna get sick, you're gonna fucking die. And so is she. And the most expensive BMW on the lot isn't going to change that so stop chasing other people's goals. Take a month and every time you want to hate on someone who "has", sincerely find yourself saying "good for them" and smile while you do it. See how much better you feel in 30 days. Your reality does not have to be subject to other peoples'. Butch up buttercup.

Don't judge the rich kids. I know a few. Unhappy lost souls. Much is expected from them and a very high bar is set for them.

They will never know the satisfaction victory & successes yet it is in their possession.

It's like eating the best steak, but you have no taste buds.

They're in constant search for satisfaction and they can't find it. They go mad sometimes.

cool story bro

avatar33

Hmmm, it's the dad's fault. 100%.

It's a dad responsibility to teach his son (or daughter) the value of money. If his dad is telling him "here's another 40k for your car" then his dad clearly has no idea how to raise responsible kids. End of story.

My dad buys the lottery, I asked him what he'd do if he won a million dollar, would he buy a business.

He said "nah, waste of money".

I agree that the stuck up silver spoon types can be annoying...

News Headlines

EricVonDoobie

It's weird to me a forum full of supposedly intelligent gay webmasters even need to talk about this. Growing up poor is the fucking tits. It puts you at a major, major, major advantage over any rich kid. Rich kids are fucking handicapped compared to poor kids, in the long term at least.

I've got friends who grew up rich and probably won't need to work a day in their lives but I wouldn't switch spots with them, learned way too fucking much having to figure shit out on my own. I could go on but fuck it.

Really good thread. Lots of great points. All I know is it could always be better or it could always be worse no matter who you are or where you are. Funny thing is, is that no matter how rich or poor you are you can end up in a lot of the same places. Think about this thread alone. I'm sure there's millionaires reading it and people so broke their internet will be cut off in 10 minutes. Yet we're all here, doing the same shit. Who's really having a better life?

If you're going to hate people for being born rich and not knowing any better, hate them for being poor and not knowing any better too. Just hate everyone in general who doesn't have as much knowledge, sophistication, dedication, whatever. See what that does for you. Going to be a lonely world.

God damn...for a forum that is supposed to be full of intelligent entrepreneurs there sure is a hell of a reading comprehension issue running rampant.

Scalped

I have an irish neighbour who hasnt worked one day in his life. Ever.

His family owns stables, investments and racing horses that partake in derbies/grand national races.

So he basically just receives an allowance every month around 20k, rents a house nearby me and goes either to the local pub or down town.

Other than that he does absolutely nothing with his life.

Sometimes I ask him why not invest into other businesses or setup some by himself, or fuck noes, travel the world volunteer for charity. He'd rather just go down the pub or go to the bookies and place footie bets, sometimes in the 5 figure range.

Well a couple weeks ago he was pissed of, I asked him what was up, he said he'd just lost 9k on a bet (cant remember the teams, think one was chelsey or something...). I turned around and said "no worries mate, next month you will have your account topped up". He just takes it as a joke, but its true nonetheless.

Me on the other hand has bust my balls to get where i am, sometimes having upto 3 fuking jobs at a time to get by. Ive never had anything given to me and grew up in humble surroundings with, like you guys say, 'poor kids'.

Never once have i complained nor been jealous of such people. The only thing that kept me going to where i am now is the fact that we are all the same, no matter how much or how little moneys you have. We all have the exact same opportunities if one is willing to give it all they have relentlessly.

Some people do get on my tits, such as my neighbour, but hey! who am i to judge a person that has fuck all to do with me and has nothing to do with my reality?

Sometimes i even feel sorry for him because the only people he has surrounding him are fukin scumbag leeches who hang out for freebies.

Id rather be financially poor but rich in friends, than be financially rich and have fuck all friends i could trust.

Even to this date i dont go all out on flashy shit acting like a scum pimp, i simply dont need to stand out for what i have financially. I dont crave it. In fact i crave the exact opposite. Discretion.

My motto? Live and let live. Be greatful for the opportunities presented to you, and enjoy each and every challenge presented, since this and only this will make you into a bigger person that no amount of money will ever give you.

Uncle Tony

I only object if they are assholes about it and act like they're somehow superior to those without a large inheritance. Otherwise...who cares? Spend it if you got it, you can't take the money with you when you die!

Didn't read anything but op.

I dealt with this during my entire upbringing.

You are jealous, however, and it is impossible to hide that fact. Anyone that says they wouldn't take money from a rich mom and dad are just kidding themselves.

I am proud to say that I've made it on my own but back when i was a kid you better believe if money was handed to me I didn't say "oh no I don't want that because I need to earn the money for myself".
