[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of wealthy folks raise spoiled kids that ace their college courses and get great careers. You all are so jealous. Stop with your old wives tales. [/quote]
 
I am the post above of "my only gripe" and I don't think you are wrong, but they STILL can't usually sustain their acquired lifestyle in their 20s with their own jobs, and will have a let down. My DH and his friends are tech nerds and they were the best paid people right out of school (actually most still are in that range now) in our circle and could swing this level of consumerism (well DH had BIG loans but the rest could) but the vast majority of 20 year olds aren't necessarily making tech salaries. So they either have that let down of lifestyle (which isn't necessarily the end of the world for them but why bother?) OR mom and dad pay for "fun" stuff for their kids until 30. which sorry, makes you a loser.[/quote]

There is never a 'let down' period. Rich people aren't like you. Rich kids drive to their $50k a year job in a new car worth more than their salary, live in a $2500/m apt, take exotic vacations, and still shop at Barneys. I had a friend from college that saved every dollar he earned in his 20s because his parents paid for everything.[/quote]

Um right, which means he lives off his parents in his 20s, which sorry, is kind of loser-ville. Rich or not. I know an exec at Amazon who is the only person in his family to ever hold a job, ever. All his siblings are still on the dole in their 40s, he ran far away from that shit. Was eye opening because I assumed I would have loved to have everything paid for in my life, but it does hold you back, you never are really an adult![/quote]
