Resentful of rich kids

Anonymous
I am resentful of all the rich people who get down payments and college savings handed to them. Meanwhile here we are working like little bees getting nowhere.

Welcome to America! (Actually the home part applies to the entire rich world from Australia to Sweden to South Korea.)

America is really the only rich country where the middle class can buy an affordable home in a decent mid-sized city.

There are people living in shacks without clean water who resent your job and lifestyle. Its all perspective.

If you want to pay for your kids college, save. We live in a tiny house, rarely vacation and drive older cars to save. Or, if you are low income, financial aid.

Truth. Ds at 7/8 would think we were sooo wealthy and it drove me nuts that he was in no way humble so I pointed out what we did not have- fancy cars, private schools, a big yard, fancy long vacations, household help, etc... He would get mad that I rained on his parade and yet I feel wealthy too because we can afford groceries and regular healthcare (wasn't always the case before kids). Its too relative and i wish he wouldn't think about the subject at all. It irks me that kids discuss the topic at all when its too faceted to explain well.

There is your problem. Working hard is fine, but by itself won't make your rich. You also need to work smart. It might be too late for you to put this to use, but tell your kids.

Honestly, I feel the same way and have to check myself. My bias is that most folks living in DC proper likely had down payments, tuition, and everything else handed to them and are sitting on trust funds/inheritance. I immediately dislike these folks and assume that they're worthless lazies and hyper pretentious. Yes, that's my bias and I try not to hire or interact with these folks. Am I right all the time? No. Am I right a good chunk of the time? Yes. Does it change anything? Not really. All you can do is keep working, OP. Raise your kids to be hard workers and hopefully keep them from being the handout, trust fund kids that we see so much of in this area. Honestly, you're likely more pleasant to be around anyway

Getting nowhere would be an improvement. Most people are falling behind they just can’t see it.

Rich people love to tell the less wealthy to be grateful that at least they're not totally destitute. It's a great deflection from their leading role in perpetuating inequality.
