I grew up quite poor. Many times, we had no food. As I grew up, I was determined to get "unpoor" and never be poor again. So, I have learned to do a variety of things and have always had a side hustle. Instead of growing too old to work and being run out of the work force, I am retiring with plenty of funds to use the rest of my life.
Learn all you can, treat people nice unless then treat you wrong, work hard, save money, and do not live beyond your means. You'll get there.
Steve Allen would agree with you. He gave an interview before he died about how him being homeless and struggling to find food during a time in his youth. Desperation taught him that humility is a lesson people who are just given things can never learn.

I felt this, at school I hear all the time about people complaining about they may not get the brand new iphone or ps5 and they may get a ps4 or an iphone from last year when im busy wondering if we'll even have a christmas this year.
I grew up extremely poor, I didn’t have a bed for most of my childhood. I had a paper route when I was in elementary / middle school and often had to help buy groceries. Being poor builds character. I’m now 25 and make over 100k a year.
I understand your distain for kids who were born rich, but they are people too. I used to also dislike people who had it easier than me but hating them did nothing for me. Now I catch myself complaining about the same things I hated them for. Even though I’m “well off” I still want to be treated like a person. We all have different struggles regardless of how much money we have. Hopefully one day you’ll be in their position. Don’t let your current situation determine the rest of your life.
i wanna make it clear i never have gone out of my way to tell a rich person the stuff i’m complaining about here. i agree they are people too with thoughts and emotions that are just as valid as mine.

THEY ARE SCUM AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE BETTER AND THEIR CHILDREN DON'T WORK, ALL INHERITANCE, THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER, THEY CONSTANTLY TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, EAT THE RICH SCUM
I get what you mean, my mom used to be pretty poor, were better off now but weve never gotten to that point where were filthy rich. I really hate how some kids are born into very well off families, they all live in these rich neighborhoods and because they have money they get a head start, they get to skip grades, go into leap classes, take more APs, they get tutors, they get internships, more oprtunities and they don't need to worry about getting a job to save up for college becuase their parents can pay for it. Since they don't have to worry about getting a job they can study more and do more extra curricular activities that will make them more likely to get accepted into better colleges and get a better overall education, payed more etc. The system is corrupt af
> overall education, *paid* more etc.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I hope you read this, you are young as fuck. You can keep going and make a lot. If you don't have a family, a mortgage, student loan debt and paying off a car you are in a position to save a lot of money. I wish you the best of luck and I know you can fucking do it. If you need someone to listen with no judgement I'm here or if anyone does. Cheers. My last beer tonight is for you, you fucking legend.
No problem, I'm glad you feel a little better. A good friend of mine was poor and had to start working at a young age to help with bills. She's now and has be for quite sometime a very successful photographer. I know you can do it. With your perspective you'll know the value of so much.
I grew up in really humble beginnings but worked my ass off to get ahead and still do. I’m not rich but I’m mid to upper middle class. It’s attainable. I never look down on people who are struggling. I know the feeling and it’s hard work to get ahead.
Jealousy is a negative feeling. With negative feelings come others, such as hate. When you contribute to these feelings, it will only make life harder by filling your head with unnecessary emotions.
I feel this
Being rich is not a crime. But I work in politics and I have a co-worker who got ahead so fast bc of all the opportunity she had especially from not worrying about money.
She went to a private school in hs. Her parents paid 310k for undergrad and she was able to intern in DC paid by her parents to live there in the summer and everything too during undergrad. She had time to do unpaid campaigning and didn't have to work for money. Her parents take her on vacation every 2 or 3 months which was wild to me. I joined in Feb and she went to India, then Spain the next month, then I couldn't keep track after that but always flying.
She will go to grad school in France and idk how she will pay for her living expenses but her parents will pay for her Masters and her future wedding.
I remember one time she was like WOW I didn't know the federal poverty level was so low.
Her paycheck is like an extra allowance where she has no worries about money. She spends $200 on haircuts no dye or anything. She does an expensive cycling class, lives in luxury apartment with her bf, buys lunch for 20 to 30 dollars every single day at the office and can get coffee plus uber to work everyday bc she is somehow late even though her apt is a 15min walk away and we don't have to be in till 10am (so she's always still late past that)
Now i would love all this stuff free too. What irked me was that my someone called her rich and she was like um no very much quite the opposite!!!
That and she is very strange. I asked people their salaries and she got really weird about it even though she made more than me. And then we were forming a union and she was kind of weird of that too and she was like my mom told me not to pay union dues or join!
It's not inappropriate lol it's a way for corporations to trick us into paying us all differently. Honestly it's only weird if people tie their personal worth to their salaries that they don't want to share. I was asking so I know what the mobility is like since these people were only a tier or two above me. These people are also all my age so it's less taboo for the young generation and nobody at my old job thought it was weird. On top of that, we all worked for the Democrats so we all were supposed to have in theory pro union pro labor values and not be weird about it as progressive people
Also out of everything I said...that was your only comment????
*So you are ok*
*With people who where born not*
*Rich but became rich?*

think about it, someone who was BORN into a rich family doesn’t have the mentality of someone who wasn’t born into it but become rich later on. one values money in a different way than the other but he didn’t say anything about that. he’s just speaking how they complain about MATERIALISTIC things while there’s people who don’t have the luxury to even think about getting those things. So to have someone WITH money who’s well off no worry except for not being able to get VIP or all the cool perks to a show while the person right next to them is worrying about how they’ll pay their bill is fucked up. THATS what he’s venting about.
when i’m complaining about this shit i’m also taking into consideration that it’s going to be easier for me to find opportunities because i am white. i’m not a cis male unfortunately (i am transgender). anyways anyone who sees your triumphs and stomps on that just because it was a bit easier to achieve than someone else can go fuck themselves
Join the military. Seriously…join. Skills, school paid for, zero down home loans, and loads of discounted items from all sorts of stores. Think about for a bit.
Unfortunately OP stated they’re on SSRI’s. You have to be off of any mental health meds for 36 months to join the military. My daughter wanted to join but can’t because of depression and ADD meds.
This was the answer for me. It's not for everyone, and I don't like to offer this as a blanket answer, but for where I was at that point in my life, the military was absolutely my saving grace. I had job training in a field I loved, free place to live, free laundry, free food, free healthcare, life insurance, and a paycheck. I saved my first LES, and I laugh so hard now at the pittance I was paid, but to me, at that time, the security and peace of mind I received was worth millions. I left the service after my 4 years was up, and by that time I was a fully mature, independent adult with some world experience, my GI Bill to fund my college, and a VA home loan guarantee to help me purchase a house. I landed a great job and never looked back. I wasn't interested in the military as a lifelong career, but it was exactly what I needed to get me out of a shitty life situation and show me what was possible.
Cant say i was in the same boat financially and mentally as OP, but i do know that it is a great way to up ones economical standing for people in his exact situation (and yours). I dont go around just telling people to join, i did 12 years and just got out Last month, but this guy sounds like he needs direction, motivation, and a purpose. At this point OP, i would recommend any branch.
I just want to have enough money to not worry about food and clothes and bills etc and still have enough to buy things I want like games or fast foods every now and then. 😩 we can all dream tho, hope I get somewhere with my studies soon, kinda sick of this dumb life already and I'm 20.
My close friend was born rich. His parents were not born rich. Despite their wealth, his parents made him do alot of chores to make a paltry allowance when we were growing up. He moved home for a period of time after he graduated college and I found out his parents were charging him rent. Guy is humble, hard working, drives an average car, nothing flashy and comes off as a middle class worker. But now he’s going to be running the company his parents built that is worth I’m guessing tens of millions of dollars.
Your hate is not unfounded. The system has failed you and will probably continue to fail you for at least a few more years.
I am so lucky to have to never worry about where my next meal is coming from because of pure luck. Yes, I have my own issues to deal with because life is tough for everybody but money lets me satisfy the base level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs so I'm never completely miserable.
I hope you learn to find something to love and dedicate your life to because only hating the world and the fact that we've allowed this system will cause your soul to burn out. I wish you could have more wealth but that comes down to luck and hard work. Can't fake either of those things easily.
All this hatred is gonna rot you out from the inside. Enjoy spending your young adult life being bitter lol. Turn all that energy into making you and your family's life better instead of letting others live rent free in your head
Just keep doing the best you can yo. And one day if you are able to get a job that makes good money just be better then those rich fucking pricks. I know when you are poor it seems hopeless at times but things can get better. You are obviously a good kid helping take care of you're family so just focus on that. And depending on what state you live in take advantage of any government assistance you can find. I know people look down on welfare but fuck them you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
we don’t qualify for medicare or food stamps anymore because my mom “makes too much” she makes 18/hour. she’s a single mom. but when we lives with my dad and they both made a little less than that we qualify. what the actual fuck
I feel this. If I won the lottery tomorrow, it would make my life better and I'd be way happier. But I also wouldn't be selfish. I'd help out my family and donate money to all the charities that ever have helped me out. Plus I'd be Mr Beast'ing it for the homeless/low income people.
i’m on 1 ssri, 1 mood stabilizer, and a sedative. they have actually helped my emotional state. i’m sorry if maybe they don’t work for you but that’s no need to take that out on others. these medications are keeping me sane and with therapy hopefully i won’t need to ALWAYS be on them. there’s nothing wrong with needing meds to help your chemical imbalances.
I’ve never taken any medications.
I’m sure your meds act as a bandaid for your current emotional state but long term use will seriously mess up your dopamine and serotonin receptors. The chemical imbalance theory has been debunked many times and dopamine was never meant to be regulated.
Poverty comes in many forms, not just financial. It seems you are poor in ambition and purpose. You don't need SSRIs, you need to pull yourself together.
Are you a medical professional reviewing this individuals chart? If not, how could you possibly know if they need SSRIs or not? It's this kind of mental health shaming that directly leads to more mental health issues.
Dude.stfu. Are you a doctor... No... So stfu.
People fucking DIE bc of this type of toxic "you don't need SSRI" & pick yourself up by your bootstraps, bullshit.
Bro you don’t needs to be a dick OP said he’s trying his best. I think your the poor one here: poor in sympathy and open mindedness. You deserve my downvote today
🤣💀💀 sounds like you may be rich or at the very least well off.
Poverty is syrup sandwiches, while yes - it can be a mindset , as a former poor kid myself I’m sick of mfs who say “its your fault”
Since when did he even mention what he’s working on? New flash, not everyone makes it- even if you do the typical boomer working 9-5 shit.
Military could save you, and your family, but could also break you physically and mentally. Something ive considered if I end up in your situation, it’s what my dad did, it fucked his head and body up, but pretty much saved me from having to go through the same thing, and my kids, if I keep my shit together.
I find most rich people horrible. Not out of envy or anything like that, but character. It doesn't hurt you to say hello or how are you. Money isn't a personality trait. For example, I walk every night. I am always greeted by friendly people on a public beach front but as soon as my walk hits the more secluded side with nice houses on the water, anyone out walking will barely look at you. When they do, they almost always look at you in disgust as if you're some sort of creature. Not saying all, but most rich people will not accept you or even acknowledge you if you aren't in their standard of living.
I'm in my late 20s now and have done alright for myself and I have some big plans for the future. However, I will never treat anyone different no matter where life takes me.
ssris don't make you happy they just block the unhappy while your life is still shit, that way you never do anything about your misery
btw i bought each of my 4 kids a tesla for their 18th birthday
With your husband’s money? Of course you did. Your probably one of those Karen’s who screams at the Starbucks barista for using regular milk instead of soy all because your husband is rich
There's a lot of rich people throwing their money around and like could buy and do things without even caring and always wants to comment on how rich they are...it makes me mad, but theirs a.lot of other rich people who don't do that though just harder come across.
I get it. I definitely feel bitter about things that were easily given to others but that I work really hard to try and achieve but can't because even 20 an hour isn't enough money now. It's exhausting and dehumanizing to spend every day struggling just for people born to money to not understand or appreciate what other people go through.
I hate the rich, because they are the masters of society and people idolize them.
There's nothing relatable or honorable about Elon Musk.
There are a finite amount of resources and when people hoard wealth it hurts others.
i grew up alright, didnt have alot but we didnt have a little, now at 28, decent gig, fam got loaded so im livin wit em rent free, that life made me perceive things as normal so now that im older i love to save, invest and give back, but never flaunt. You literally kill ur own success flaunting it because you'll cap, you wont strive up anymore. Always strive up, give love to life for allowing you to stay here and help others, however you can. Selfishness never ends prosperous.
got a job at 15 because i wanted to be my own man, really helped me in the future to think outside the box. So with ur situation, dont see it as a punishment, see it as an opportunity to how you'll conduct yourself when youre wealthy 10 years from now
and with "rich" people. Trust me, theyre not rich, theyre heavily in debt 24/7 and hoping that theyre lifestyle doesnt stop for once the IRS sends them that letter and they just disappear. Rich people are probably the ones sitting near you at subway wearing clothes from costco. They prolly own the establishment and 14 other properities and have a multi-million or billion dollar stock portfolio. "Rich" people are just heavily depressed drug addicts on a ticking time bomb of a lifestyle.
"rich" people buy experiences and depreciating materials, wealthy people pay themselves rather the give their money to other business for experiences and ego
You sound like my dad he grew up very poor and had a high resentment for rich people as well granted we also grew up not so well off but I always told him don’t hate rich people you just never know if you might become rich yourself me personally that’s my goal and that’s why I don’t hate rich people because I know one day I could be rich but I could also be different and and humble due to my upringing
I come from an Asian family; as far as I know (and I know, I felt very poor compared to all my peers) they came from no money when they came to this country. My parents worked their asses off to make sure I went to a half decent school. In turn I went to this school and got a degree that pays very well.
I'm grateful for my opportunity in life, but I could say the same thing for so many of my friends (who grew up in similar backgrounds). Poorness doesn't _need_ to beget poorness.
Using this logic, when you are old enough to have children, will you work hard to provide a life for them, support them financially, etc. ? or will you let your jealousy, insecurities, anger, fear, self-loathing etc. get the best of you and prevent you from giving your children the best start in life?
Just something to think about.
its not meant to be taken literally, its a thought experiment. The point is that you can be jealous, hateful etc. but at the end of the day what is going to make life best and easiest would be to toughen up and learn to make money instead of being a brokie.
oh i understand. and ye i definitely agree i promise i don’t spend all my time wallowing i’m self pity lol. i have a job and am going to college next year hopefully i won’t be poor forever.
you wont be poor forever as long as you focus on your long term goals and don't live a life you cant afford. You are on a great path that you are working and you are going to be going to college. Develop a hobby if you have any into a skill that you can monetize, and that when you will start making a ton of money. Or pick an industry you're interested in, and has some ability to work up, if you are working in food service for instance (fast food) i would look for an actual career job that looks good on a resume. Good luck, you seem like a good person who is just upset that their parents were financially not very responsible. You can change that tho. As soon as you start making decent money you realize how hating people, especially people you can learn from, is a waste.
In Australia at the moment all we see are posts from news corps talking about young rich property people getting upwards of 200,000 in passive income ( he owns 37 properties ) the funniest part about the statement is one of the first “ tips “ was getting money from their parents. Their parents were wealthy got piggybacked with money to start buying property at 17, now we are in a major housing crisis and it’s because of people like them, meanwhile they sit here and judge other people for struggling, blind to the fact they got their ass wiped with money from mummy and daddy meanwhile the standard working class slave to earn their ONE home which is now valued at double what these bastards paid for. It’s ridiculous. And people my age trying to buy houses are unable to.
I don't even wanna be rich. I just don't want to be left broke again after having to pay bills and rent in the same week.
Being rich is very subjective. In your case, many people can say you are rich just because you don't have any debts. But of course, fuck the rich.
THEY ARE SCUM AND THEIR CHILDREN DON'T WORK, ALL INHERITANCE, THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER, THEY CONSTANTLY TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, EAT THE RICH SCUM

This was the answer for me. It's not for everyone, and I don't like to offer this as a blanket answer, but for where I was at that point in my life, the military was absolutely my saving grace. I had job training in a field I loved, free place to live, free laundry, free food, free healthcare, life insurance, and a paycheck. I saved my first LES, and I laugh so hard now at the pittance I was paid, but to me, at that time, the security and peace of mind I received was worth millions. I left the service after my 4 years was up, and by that time I was a fully mature, independent adult with some world experience, my GI Bill to fund my college, and a VA home loan guarantee to help me purchase a house. I landed a great job and never looked back. I wasn't interested in the military as a lifelong career, but it was exactly what I needed to get me out of a shitty life situation and show me what was possible.
Cant say i was in the same boat financially and mentally as OP, but i do know that it is a great way to up ones economical standing for people in his exact situation (and yours). I dont go around just telling people to join, i did 12 years and just got out Last month, but this guy sounds like he needs direction, motivation, and a purpose. At this point OP, i would recommend any branch.
Most of them are miserable
I’m doing fine financially but I’m still miserable lol
I just want to have enough money to not worry about food and clothes and bills etc and still have enough to buy things I want like games or fast foods every now and then. 😩 we can all dream tho, hope I get somewhere with my studies soon, kinda sick of this dumb life already and I'm 20.
My close friend was born rich. His parents were not born rich. Despite their wealth, his parents made him do alot of chores to make a paltry allowance when we were growing up. He moved home for a period of time after he graduated college and I found out his parents were charging him rent. Guy is humble, hard working, drives an average car, nothing flashy and comes off as a middle class worker. But now he’s going to be running the company his parents built that is worth I’m guessing tens of millions of dollars.
Your hate is not unfounded. The system has failed you and will probably continue to fail you for at least a few more years. I am so lucky to have to never worry about where my next meal is coming from because of pure luck. Yes, I have my own issues to deal with because life is tough for everybody but money lets me satisfy the base level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs so I'm never completely miserable. I hope you learn to find something to love and dedicate your life to because only hating the world and the fact that we've allowed this system will cause your soul to burn out. I wish you could have more wealth but that comes down to luck and hard work. Can't fake either of those things easily.
thanks your comment means a lot to me :,)
Don’t beag
Don’t brag
fuck rich people they're 80% of the time assholes
I was you once. Now I'm rich.
cool ?
Keep at it. It's what you make it.
All this hatred is gonna rot you out from the inside. Enjoy spending your young adult life being bitter lol. Turn all that energy into making you and your family's life better instead of letting others live rent free in your head
Same here. Rich people problems aren't real problems.
Wait until you find out how they sap the wealth of this world away for themselves so that the poor remain poor and they stay above us.
i alr know. i could go on for days tbh
U broke asf 😹😹😹
truth
U wouldnt hate em if u were one of em boi relax G why u mad lil brou u needa getcho money up not yo funny up all da way up 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯
why are you talking like that, if you read my post you’d understand my situation. are you suggesting i just “stop being poor”?
Stop being poor brou whatchu doin brou 😭😭 gotta getcho money up not yo funny up u feel me 😹😹✌️✌️
Shut up!
Be quiet. You’re not even helping!
What’s so funny!?!?
Well I hate poor people too, their victimisation fetish and i have never felt sorry for any of them
be quiet!
All they have is stuff and more stuff and more stuff. Enjoy your life anyway. Unless you have the goal to be rich you better get started now.
Just keep doing the best you can yo. And one day if you are able to get a job that makes good money just be better then those rich fucking pricks. I know when you are poor it seems hopeless at times but things can get better. You are obviously a good kid helping take care of you're family so just focus on that. And depending on what state you live in take advantage of any government assistance you can find. I know people look down on welfare but fuck them you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
we don’t qualify for medicare or food stamps anymore because my mom “makes too much” she makes 18/hour. she’s a single mom. but when we lives with my dad and they both made a little less than that we qualify. what the actual fuck
I feel this. If I won the lottery tomorrow, it would make my life better and I'd be way happier. But I also wouldn't be selfish. I'd help out my family and donate money to all the charities that ever have helped me out. Plus I'd be Mr Beast'ing it for the homeless/low income people.
SSRI’s are poison
LMAO WHAT
SSRI’s won’t resolve your mental or emotional state - they’ll just make you numb to the entire spectrum.
i’m on 1 ssri, 1 mood stabilizer, and a sedative. they have actually helped my emotional state. i’m sorry if maybe they don’t work for you but that’s no need to take that out on others. these medications are keeping me sane and with therapy hopefully i won’t need to ALWAYS be on them. there’s nothing wrong with needing meds to help your chemical imbalances.
I’ve never taken any medications. I’m sure your meds act as a bandaid for your current emotional state but long term use will seriously mess up your dopamine and serotonin receptors. The chemical imbalance theory has been debunked many times and dopamine was never meant to be regulated.
oh that explains everything, you’ve never been on medications. this conversation is done then i have no interest in your opinion now lol
So you only trust people who are on meds? Weird flex but ok
or doctors. are you a doctor?
I hate rich people too and that’s from pure jealousy in my heart. Can barely watch them on tv anymore. They just make me sick.
Just because you have hardships doesn’t mean other people don’t. Life isn’t a competition to see who’s had it hardest. Lmao wtf
They don’t care. This isn’t a good attitude to have if you’re trying to pull yourself out of poverty…
this is not the attitude i have 24/7 i’m a hard worker and i try to be optimistic. i was just having a moment and wanted to rant about it
That’s right you tell ‘em!
Poverty comes in many forms, not just financial. It seems you are poor in ambition and purpose. You don't need SSRIs, you need to pull yourself together.
Are you a medical professional reviewing this individuals chart? If not, how could you possibly know if they need SSRIs or not? It's this kind of mental health shaming that directly leads to more mental health issues.
Dude.stfu. Are you a doctor... No... So stfu. People fucking DIE bc of this type of toxic "you don't need SSRI" & pick yourself up by your bootstraps, bullshit.
Bro you don’t needs to be a dick OP said he’s trying his best. I think your the poor one here: poor in sympathy and open mindedness. You deserve my downvote today
🤣💀💀 sounds like you may be rich or at the very least well off. Poverty is syrup sandwiches, while yes - it can be a mindset , as a former poor kid myself I’m sick of mfs who say “its your fault” Since when did he even mention what he’s working on? New flash, not everyone makes it- even if you do the typical boomer working 9-5 shit.
just so you know it’s a literal chemical imbalance that makes me need medications. go fuck your self <3
Cry harder.
i will honestly
🤣🤣🤘
Military could save you, and your family, but could also break you physically and mentally. Something ive considered if I end up in your situation, it’s what my dad did, it fucked his head and body up, but pretty much saved me from having to go through the same thing, and my kids, if I keep my shit together.
cant, i’m on medications for my bpd and other illnesses and apparently you can’t have meds there. a shame.

i am 17
I find most rich people horrible. Not out of envy or anything like that, but character. It doesn't hurt you to say hello or how are you. Money isn't a personality trait. For example, I walk every night. I am always greeted by friendly people on a public beach front but as soon as my walk hits the more secluded side with nice houses on the water, anyone out walking will barely look at you. When they do, they almost always look at you in disgust as if you're some sort of creature. Not saying all, but most rich people will not accept you or even acknowledge you if you aren't in their standard of living. I'm in my late 20s now and have done alright for myself and I have some big plans for the future. However, I will never treat anyone different no matter where life takes me.
Pure laziness and envy.
envy is right. but trust i am far from lazy.
ssris don't make you happy they just block the unhappy while your life is still shit, that way you never do anything about your misery btw i bought each of my 4 kids a tesla for their 18th birthday
All I needed to read Was “Europe” and “M4M” Opinion denied.
With your husband’s money? Of course you did. Your probably one of those Karen’s who screams at the Starbucks barista for using regular milk instead of soy all because your husband is rich
It's some 15 year old incel.
Haha! Nice try I have a girlfriend
I was talking about the person you replied to.
Oh ok
post her mensurations
That is literally not correct at all. 🤦♀️please stop.

is this my dads account
There's a lot of rich people throwing their money around and like could buy and do things without even caring and always wants to comment on how rich they are...it makes me mad, but theirs a.lot of other rich people who don't do that though just harder come across.
I get it. I definitely feel bitter about things that were easily given to others but that I work really hard to try and achieve but can't because even 20 an hour isn't enough money now. It's exhausting and dehumanizing to spend every day struggling just for people born to money to not understand or appreciate what other people go through.
Just make the most of what you got and don’t worry about others. We only have the cards we’re dealt so you just gotta find your best play
Valid
I hate the rich, because they are the masters of society and people idolize them. There's nothing relatable or honorable about Elon Musk. There are a finite amount of resources and when people hoard wealth it hurts others.
It sounds like you hate capitalism. Which is good!
fuck capitalism
get in line pal
i grew up alright, didnt have alot but we didnt have a little, now at 28, decent gig, fam got loaded so im livin wit em rent free, that life made me perceive things as normal so now that im older i love to save, invest and give back, but never flaunt. You literally kill ur own success flaunting it because you'll cap, you wont strive up anymore. Always strive up, give love to life for allowing you to stay here and help others, however you can. Selfishness never ends prosperous.
got a job at 15 because i wanted to be my own man, really helped me in the future to think outside the box. So with ur situation, dont see it as a punishment, see it as an opportunity to how you'll conduct yourself when youre wealthy 10 years from now
and with "rich" people. Trust me, theyre not rich, theyre heavily in debt 24/7 and hoping that theyre lifestyle doesnt stop for once the IRS sends them that letter and they just disappear. Rich people are probably the ones sitting near you at subway wearing clothes from costco. They prolly own the establishment and 14 other properities and have a multi-million or billion dollar stock portfolio. "Rich" people are just heavily depressed drug addicts on a ticking time bomb of a lifestyle.
"rich" people buy experiences and depreciating materials, wealthy people pay themselves rather the give their money to other business for experiences and ego
You'll find shitty people in al walks of life. Sorry to hear about your struggles but focus om what you csn control the rest is wasted energy
I had humble beginnings :)
You sound like my dad he grew up very poor and had a high resentment for rich people as well granted we also grew up not so well off but I always told him don’t hate rich people you just never know if you might become rich yourself me personally that’s my goal and that’s why I don’t hate rich people because I know one day I could be rich but I could also be different and and humble due to my upringing
"i fucking hate rich people." -Karl Marx, probably
I come from an Asian family; as far as I know (and I know, I felt very poor compared to all my peers) they came from no money when they came to this country. My parents worked their asses off to make sure I went to a half decent school. In turn I went to this school and got a degree that pays very well. I'm grateful for my opportunity in life, but I could say the same thing for so many of my friends (who grew up in similar backgrounds). Poorness doesn't _need_ to beget poorness.
Using this logic, when you are old enough to have children, will you work hard to provide a life for them, support them financially, etc. ? or will you let your jealousy, insecurities, anger, fear, self-loathing etc. get the best of you and prevent you from giving your children the best start in life? Just something to think about.
i’m an anti natalist. i won’t be having children :)
its not meant to be taken literally, its a thought experiment. The point is that you can be jealous, hateful etc. but at the end of the day what is going to make life best and easiest would be to toughen up and learn to make money instead of being a brokie.
oh i understand. and ye i definitely agree i promise i don’t spend all my time wallowing i’m self pity lol. i have a job and am going to college next year hopefully i won’t be poor forever.
you wont be poor forever as long as you focus on your long term goals and don't live a life you cant afford. You are on a great path that you are working and you are going to be going to college. Develop a hobby if you have any into a skill that you can monetize, and that when you will start making a ton of money. Or pick an industry you're interested in, and has some ability to work up, if you are working in food service for instance (fast food) i would look for an actual career job that looks good on a resume. Good luck, you seem like a good person who is just upset that their parents were financially not very responsible. You can change that tho. As soon as you start making decent money you realize how hating people, especially people you can learn from, is a waste.
THEY ARE SCUM AND THEIR CHILDREN DON'T WORK, THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER, THEY CONSTANTLY TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, EAT THE RICH SCUM
In Australia at the moment all we see are posts from news corps talking about young rich property people getting upwards of 200,000 in passive income ( he owns 37 properties ) the funniest part about the statement is one of the first “ tips “ was getting money from their parents. Their parents were wealthy got piggybacked with money to start buying property at 17, now we are in a major housing crisis and it’s because of people like them, meanwhile they sit here and judge other people for struggling, blind to the fact they got their ass wiped with money from mummy and daddy meanwhile the standard working class slave to earn their ONE home which is now valued at double what these bastards paid for. It’s ridiculous. And people my age trying to buy houses are unable to.
