[quote=Anonymous]Generally no but I still have some lingering resentment from high school which will probably resonate with some folks on here. I come from a well off family and went to private schools in NYC where the wealth is enormous. My classmates were the children of people on the Forbes 400 and well known on Wall St., Hollywood, etc.. So my family’s lifestyle was pittance compared to them. It was a fact of life for me and didn’t really bother me until college time. In junior and senior year, all of a sudden the really rich kids got prime leadership positions in clubs and teams despite other kids, like yours truly, having worked hard to earn those spots. And when college acceptances came it was depressing/horrifying/enraging to watch one super rich kid after another get into Ivy League schools. Sure, they were smart and could do the work but watching a slacker get into Brown just because his dad was the chairman of a major investment bank was infuriating.[/quote]
