>>just because your parents had money.
They don't 'just' have money. Its not like some fairy shows up on one particular night drops a suitcase full of money outside their doorstep.
Life is full of choices and actions we take.
If a parent slogs all their life to ensure their kids have a good future and another parent doesn't. Then I'm very sorry that's exactly the future these people chose for themselves.
Ironically these are the same people who keep talking of work life balance, quitting jobs and taking care of kids and all that. While somebody else builds a financial empire. In the real life a parent who is always busy but can provide financially is vastly more preferable to kids than some who isn't but stays at home just to take care of them.
Learn to live with your choices and decisions.
- Retric 12y agoSome parents literally just won a lottery rendering that justification moot. But let's lot forget the children of thieves, pimps, and drug dealers etc. In the end money has no moral weight.

You seem to arguing that Y is a failure in life, because X was born to a rich guy. I wouldn't go to an extent to argue that your initial conditions in life don't have a effect on your future. But at some point of time as you age, that argument just dies. >> In the end money has no moral weight. You can either say that and not make money, or go out and earn money. At the end having money would have solved most of your problems and may be even your kids's problem.
- Retric 12y agoWow, I guess everyone that's not a billionaire are all just poor. No wait, that's nothing like what I said, the difference between your parents making 1,000$ a year and 10,000$ a year is huge. Often people discount the idea that having a collage degree and making 50+k/year is anywhere close to the world's average lifestyle.
- rayiner 12y agoI don't disagree. My wife and I work very hard to give our daughter an advantage. Its clearly not unfair to us to get the reward of that hard work. But absolutely none of that is chargeable to my daughter. As far as she is concerned, some magic fairy did drop a bunch of money on her lap. Her own choices, ambition, work ethic didn't factor in to getting that advantage.
