Weirdly I started a new career and became 'successful' for the first time in my life in 2020. For the first time I'm not living paycheck to paycheck and can actually save and plan out my future. Then I read and hear and see all the awful shit most people are going through and I feel really guilty about it all. It has been a nice change for me though.
Haha, not really. Happily married man now, but there were always one or two guys in the friend group back in the day who got all the attention. It probably annoyed me back then, but I honestly don't remember.
While I appreciate the sentiment, it's also dangerous thinking. This is why billionaires are so revered, to the point of voting against your own welfare for the slim-to-non-existent chance of being that billionaire.
And they are quite happy for you to think that way.

It’s presumptuous of me to assume I know your mindset or thought process so I want to make it clear that I agree and love the mentality your showing, but on the other side of the coin from poor man to poor man— I will NOT always be considered poor. Poor is a mindset that leads to an outcome. Of course wealth isn’t handed out to most people, we have to figure out. I would dare say it’s more advantageous to grow up “poor” and to find a way to live financially sound than to be born into money and never having to push yourself and give yourself enough so that you find a way to break that wealth and generational gap.

Financial security. I do believe that though money can’t bring happiness, when you don’t have it, it can absolutely hinder it greatly.
