On the other hand, I hate it when my rich friends at uni (because they all are!) expect me to be able to afford the same things as them when it's birthdays etc.
If anything, I wish my parents had more money so that they could afford to pay for the work that needs doing on the car, or replace the sofa, so that they wouldn't have to worry about it.
And?
He doesn't need it, so he's living somewhere smaller.
You choose to waste your money if you want, but why should he just because he's "rich"?
As for all those who say they prefer working for it- how many of you play the lottery?
My Dad spends £6 a week on lottery tickets and I will never understand why.
I pay £2 a week as part of my work syndicate, and yeah, so far we've spent about three times more than we've won, but so what? It's our money to spend, and at least some of the money goes to good causes.
And say if we did win the jackpot, I would accept it all, thank you very much, and I'd appreciate it and I'd enjoy it, and you'd better believe I wouldn't be sitting there thinking, 'God, I wish I'd have worked my ass off my whole life for this fortune rather than just having it handed to me on a plate while I'm still young enough to enjoy it'.
Some people are luckier than others. That's life. If you're one of the lucky ones, then that's cool, but if you're not, life's a lot more enjoyable if you don't get all bitter and twisted about the ones who are.
Buddy, you can't miss what you never had, you get me!
And believe me, you will appreciate it more starting from scratch.
:yes: Exactly.
If you're pissed off with the fact that some people are better off then you, you're going to be angry all your life. I think it's a pointless thing to worry over - it's just the way life is.
He spent ages carefully selecting about 4 items that were on buy one get one free. I told him how much it was and he just looked at the items and counted it up out loud, said "hmm i suppose thats about right", paid for them, then stood in the doorway for about 5mins scanning his receipt.
Not quite sure what to make of it.
Arrogant, tight arsed, knobhead comes to mind. He could obviously afford it-there was no genuine concern about the cost.
They're the sort of people that fuck me off.
But I understand where the resentment comes in. It's kinda like when a pop star or model suddenly gets a leading role in a film. Okay, they may have acting talent, but if you're an actor who's been working really hard all your life, and someone else gets to where you want to be for no reason other than their status, it's gotta be irritating.
I think the main problem, however, comes when you have someone who's poor, and never put the effort in to improve their situation. Then you get someone who's rich, and has also not bothered to put any effort into achieving anything. There's a sense of injustice there that one's rich and one's poor. However, those who take time to focus on improving their own lives or achieving their own goals, whether they start out rich or poor, tend to not be bitter about anyone else having anything that they don't.
I wonder whether there are people starving in Africa having the same conversation about us?
Amen to that!
In my personal experience all the rich people I know well are absolutely lovely and completely unaffected by their financial advantage, to be fair. As long as they get their round in, I'm not arsed whatsoever.
The thing I hate most is the pursuit of wealth, and I definitely know a few lasses and lads who have gold digging on their mind. They're probably the biggest "snobs" I know, and they're far from rich... for now.
So what if they inherited millions, why dislike someone because of that? Actually I'll tell you why.... because deep down your jealous and bitter, probably the same as a lot of other people as well.
However, I know a few people who are also quite wealthy and they are the completely the opposite and are right arseholes.
Only last week we were down the pub and one of them was complaining about how his dad wouldnt buy him the subaru he wanted, and had to settle for a "crappy" audi instead. :eek2: wtf?!! if was given an audi i would be SOO thrilled!! there is no way that i would be bloody complaining about it!!
You don't choose the circumstances you're born into, so why hold it against people?
One can lead a rich and worthwhile life with minimal money or posessions. And people can also find such a life unrewarding, and something to be ashamed of. Each to their own. Worry about your own life, not someone elses.
Which is more than what most parents would buy their kids...
Yeah, the people who talk about money and must let everybody know how much they spent or have.
:yes: exactly
i can see why everyone thinks that. to me its the same. i go to a private school in england and my parents are fairly wealthy as they are doctors and everyone is like THATS IT because i cant afford to shop at places like armani and prada!
i remember when i went to a state school a while back people were not sp boastful or full of them selves!
