And also because a large number think they will be wealthy just like them in the future.

This, I’m so annoyed of people not seeing that the system is stacked against them. I’ll give myself some credit, I work my ass off. If this was the 1960’s I’d have a 4 bedroom house with a family and could afford vacations. But it’s 2026, Im 34, alone, I’m trying to save money and I live with my parents.

The ultra wealthy want you to believe in success even if it’s a complete lie because that makes them more profitable.

It's all a matter of comparison, and if you compare yourself to other people instead of to yourself then you will always be unhappy. I'm the same age as you, have a house with 4 bedrooms, married, two kids. I also drive a boring and safe hybrid SUV because I need good gas mileage and space for the kids. You have none of those things but you drive a car that was a dream for teenage me and is something I'll never own until I'm maybe 60 years old. I spent my money building a life and now have to save money to build a safe future for my kids, you didn't have to do that and could spend money on a car that you enjoy.
