Lets be honest most of us go to work 40 hours a week and will never live the life these kids do but we kinda all wish we could drive a sports car or go home to a 500k home with all the latest gadgets and go on amazing holidays , Yes I am dreaming , but when you see that some people actually live like this you can't help but feel negative towards them , I'm at that age now that if I see someone in a sports car I almost instantly mutter under my breath , W*** or Rich T*** LOL , I know its sad but thats just the way Rich people make me feel.

How about you ? How do these people make you feel about your life style. ?

This says way more about you than them. Ambitions can be realized. It's not unreasonable to think I aspire to have a great house or a sports car, it is entirely unreasonable to assume that everyone who does is a ****. That said showing off is in bad taste.

I dont feel bitter particularly, I would probably be just the same as them if I had money!

AHarvey · 16 Feb 2015 at 17:54

I know people who live like that.

Some have worked hard, first generation rich, fair play to them and I wish them all the best and they are all great genuine people.

I know 2nd/3rd generation rich too, most have no concept of the real world, rarely or never work. Went to Uni because they wanted to party. One parks his Lambo outside the local Wetherspoons (on the pavement right outside the entrance) to show it off. In these cases, yes, I think what a ****.

It's not about the money or having things, it's about the people behind the money and how they act.

Don't care, good for them. No different to you or I posting a selfie on a Barbados beach just for a different crowd

this except I dont know any rich people, appart from an old neighbour near my parents house, she didnt like talking to anyone poorer than she is, except to invite the neighbourhood to parties and such.

I don't devote much of my time caring about these people. I just worry about my own life and how I can improve that.

Could not care less

I must say though, I was best friends with a child in primary school who lived in a £1 mil house etc. Wouldn't have swapped his childhood for mine.

Dad was always working running his business, super strict when he was home. Mum was a complete wet lettuce and it resulted in him being a spoilt brat. He put a dent in the car door once so his mum had to have it repaired that day so the dad wouldn't slap him. He got about £4k in fishing gear one xmas, then destroyed it using the rods as weapons in his room destroying everything in a temper tantrum.

I got fed up with it in the end, that and the "why can't you be more like Stu" comments from his parents to him. Went back to my single parent family, 4 younger brothers and no money.

Being rich gets you nice things, doesn't always make your life better though.

Just look at them and think about the bill for the rehab just waiting to happen.

They should do more with their opportunities than lie around the pool and party. Spending money and living well is great but eventually they should do something productive with their lives, well in my opinion.

A 500k home and the latest gadgets... those are achievable for rather a lot if people with a reasonable skillset and hard work... 500k can get you just a small flat in quite a few London boroughs...

These kids or at least their parents, appear to have access to millions... 500k is the cost of a summer holiday to some of them.

While it would be nice to have those resources you can still go to similar places...those super yachts cruise the same bits of sea and stop at the same beaches/Islands as more modest yachts, those ski chalets have access to the same slopes as cheaper accommodation... ok you might have a chalet girl on a gap year rather than a personal chef or you might need to learn to sail yourself and get a barebones charter than have a crew of 22... you'll probably not party with P Diddy... but then again the actual locations, experiences can also be awesome without requiring multiple millions in the bank.

Sure you're not just feeling bitter about your life and wishing you'd tried just that little bit harder?

Rroff · 16 Feb 2015 at 18:08

Was going to say 500k home and a sports car isn't so much the preserve of the super rich these days.

Unicorn · 16 Feb 2015 at 18:08

I have a friend who does very much this, She's attractive, Rich family and Loves her twitter and instagram accounts. But whilst she does that on the internet her real life is quite a sad one she failed at college and now cannot go to uni.. So yeah she may have a Porsche sat on her drive and her dad to fund her but i do wonder if that will stop one day.

adolf hamster · 16 Feb 2015 at 18:10

being mega rich is fine if you've worked for it, but these sons and daughters of money do tend to be a bit stuck up.

not gonna lie, even if i managed to make it big, you can be sure any kids i have won't get to sponge off it, or at least not until they've been around long enough to make a meaningful contribution to the world and learn the hard way.

after all, when daddy dies and the corporate lawyers are done carving up the empire what's the kid going to do when the money [inevitably] runs out?

Avoid social media for a happier life.

Nevakonaza · 16 Feb 2015 at 18:18

I don't have any issues with people i know or show that they have money..the one thing i don't like about people like this is when they think they are better than you just because they have money.

Ayahuasca · 16 Feb 2015 at 18:36

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, there's always going to be people "better off" in terms of money and material things than me.

I don't care if they have or haven't worked for it either, life is short, if some people get to explore the world and do pretty much anything they want without working a day in their lives then they hit the sperm and egg jackpot.

Judging someone as a '****' because of the car they're driving. Wow. Grow up.

Your attitude stinks. Rather than sitting there moaning about what others have why don't you go out there and do it yourself? They probably worked really hard for it and all you have to say is "What a rich ****". And if it's inherited wealth, so what? Somewhere in their family in previous generations someone probably worked really hard to accumulate that wealth. When they die where do you think the money goes? Unless they give it to the cats home their kids get it. That attitude gets you nowhere in life. Either get out there and make it for yourself or mind your own business.
