I was not born into a rich family. But extrapolating from my own experiences, I can tell you, your description is unlikely to be an accurate description of what makes life hard for the rich person. (Still, I appreciate your coming to my defense---although maybe that guy was just trying to judge where I came from in the overall social hierarchy.)
The rich person's problem is more likely to be having no self esteem and feeling like a total failure because he (she) didn't live up to his parents' unreasonably high standards.
It's better to be hungry than to hate yourself.
It really is. Hunger does not drive people to suicide. Hating yourself does. (Although even that is a huge oversimplification.)
It's also better to work hard than to hate yourself. Hard work, even when you hate the job, is still has an element of being fulfilling.
There is a reason there are a lot of suicides at MIT, Stanford, and so on, and practically none at Local Town Community College or even Mediocre State State University.
