Boy, does reading this make me a bit frustrated/jealous. Some people are just incredibly lucky (at no fault of their own!). I would write more, but it would be more therapeutic for me than entertaining to read for you. I also found the author referencing gender/race distracting(?), this situation could happen to anyone.
If you do find this type of stuff about what the wealthy do with their wealth interesting, I highly recommend a book called `Millionaire Next Door`
- soared 8y agoI am consistently frustrated/annoyed/jealous by most of my friends whose parents paid tuition, rent, etc. I am more annoyed that I hold that opinion though; its something I wish I could let go and forget but I can't seem to do it.
- ydnaclementine 8y agoI guess it’s to look on the positive side. Like for me, I luckily went to college, making good career progression, and will have my loans paid off in the next 5 years with aggressive paying and money management. Many people don’t even make it to whatever step 0 is of that progression list.
- thex10 8y agoAs someone whose parents don't even earn/live off 28k/yr USD, I can relate to this feeling. I didn't find the author referencing gender or race distracting, though I did find it very simplified/101 level. And yet she's still probably more self aware than her lucky peers...
