The Problems Faced By All Classes Of People
I use to make comparisons between people and ladders because I generally believe we're all climbers in life. One of the biggest heights we mostly aim to climb is the finance and social ladder. Some people are born into wealth, and because they were, sometimes it blinds them to the rat race out there, making them generally underestimate the struggle of the common man.
However these people might not need to climb but maintain their position because wealth, in my opinion, isn't a destination, it's a race against time, inflation, innovations, and sophistication. New money comes with age and time, this means that new millionaires are being made every day, hence the old millionaires will likely give way one way or another, however, let's come back to the issue at hand
How Can Wealth Be Uninspiring?
Even people born into wealth will need to maintain the wealth and this is even harder than someone who has to start chasing the bag from ground zero. I've met a few millionaire kids and they're the most uninspiring people to talk to. The ones who try so hard to be different, still find it difficult to be different. Their life is somehow tailored, premeditated, and predestined. This isn't necessarily a bad thing,
why is this?
Life doesn't have to be uncertain, I mean, wouldn't you like to know the age at which you'll inherit a multimillion business or what your career path would certainly be like after college? I mean, some people are screwing nuts and bolts in college, without even a clear path of the job they'll do when they graduate, I mean who wouldn't trade that for a promised life of comfort?
The Rich Kid's Predestined Life
Nevertheless, I wouldn't entirely say all rich kids are drab. Some seem innovative and have a clearer sense of what their future should be like, but they cannot follow this path. This is because most rich parents have a strict definition of responsibility. A rich man would prefer their kids to take over their business, rather than having them join the army, this is because wealth to them has to be translational.
I mean, they try to make sure that their children are worthy of the wealth they're transferring to them, but then, kids who are used to wealth often seek the freedom of having nothing, to enable them to see poverty from a third person point of view.
Breaking Away From The "Wealth" Monotony
However, this isn't to say rich kids shouldn't seek to break away from the monotony of wealth they were born into, sometimes by doing this they tend to underappreciate the efforts of their wealthy parents who probably started with nothing, and hustled all through to give them the life they're currently enjoying. The narrative can be complicated because sometimes I feel that we truly value the sacrifice of others if we have been in a position of lack before.
This is different from what it seems like down the ladder. People who never had the opportunity to have rich parents have to climb ladders, compete, fight, in some instances, do questionable things they might not even be comfortable with. Because we're all climbers, we need others to co-climb if that's even a word.
Financial breakthrough is what most people set out their lives to attain and the frustration of not getting them is why we have people who have unpure intentions.
Symbiotics is an art of co-climbing but a lot of people would rather sacrifice the position of others so that they can climb even higher than they were supposed to. It's funny, but life's a competition. When it comes to survival, people would trash their moral values and standards because life's competitive and we have others who do not want to play by the rules.
I think it's an individual decision to choose people we want to co-climb with because when people do not compliment you it's hard for you to grow with them without them pulling you down and vice versa. In reality, we all chase growth especially if we're born into comfort and accomplishment.
Small & Big Fishes: Who Are You?
Our lives would differ from those who were. I believe that average people are small fishes in a big ocean, while the few wealthy people need only a small portion of themselves, small fishes empowering themselves can create something vast and distinctive. This is to say we do not need wealthy people to strive in life, especially if we can build like-minded people who are aiming for the same goal.
People are the money you're aiming to have, this seems contradictory but true, hence avoid unions that does not carry a symbiotic feature. As for wealthy people, they have their challenges, just like people who aren't, (I'll talk about this in another post) and money isn't the end of all problems but the beginning of new problems. Some problems are only activated when one's financial status changes for the better.

I think both sides has their advantages. In a way, the smaller fish are less likely to give up because they have faced hardship while the rich kids will have money to invest into their businesses. I think money only solves some issues and not everything so they can still be still play on the same field.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, both sides comes with it's advantages and you've summarized it, I explicitly haven't given up because I'm facing hardship, most times it even motivates me to actually do better and as for people who have it all, I guess their money can do a lot for them.
I booked mark this work cause I want to come back and digest it. I really think that you live the life you put out on the screen for us to read and that's why you have so many words to describe what you are saying. I really appreciate what you do, from the standpoint of a creator and from the standpoint of a person building wealth myself.
I believe that rich kids do not know what poverty is nor do they want to know.
A lot of the rich kids I know just seek pleasure and nothing else. They try for a while and then stop, I would say it is the same for all of us but the longer the length of the break the less I feel you know what you are doing.
They are not the leaders of their lives in a way.
As a creator, one must embody their content if not they'll just be making emphasis without creating a relatable experience which anyone can tap into and learn from. Basically, I feel we learn from relatability else knowledge would become too herculean to digest.
This has its advantages though, but it's disadvantages are even more, I'll love to have been born a rich kid, but we cannot control who and what we're born as hence, I'm tapping from the advantages of my status as a below average boy.
It can be boring to be a rich kid though because sometimes the sweetness of money is in the beauty of the hustle.
Yeah...The beauty is in the struggle. I swear when I think about the times I have had nothing and nothing to do about it...That's the spark.
I am still not where I want to be and there is so much to fix and that's why I show up every day.
Rich people have less responsibility. Less responsibility = Less purpose. If you add less purpose to seeking pleasure your life will be a disaster.
I guess this is why the antagonist(I don't know if I am addressing him well though) in the movie, "Quid game" said, someone who is wealthy is often as bored as someone who is poor.
Really? You think a brokie like me and Elon are equally bored?
Haha 😂
Please, don't go there 😅
LoooooL
😂😂😂😂
Just keep that in mind when you listen to movie quotes. They sound very nice in the context of the movie but not in reality.
What if I told you Jackie Chan can't fight would you believe me?
No, never, Elon musk is bored differently.
If Elon gets bored the way I get bored he'll order for a new kidney and be on morphine for the rest of his life just for the fun of it...and he will never be poor even if he dose it for 1 million years...over $200 billion can afford him that and more
Well, a lot of people might not agree, and this is because sometimes we envisage being rich so much that we carve a big mirage around it, make it seems as if it doesn't come with it's disadvantages too. I think the motivation to leave our present condition for a better status is often driven by the fact that there's joy in grinding, like you said, it gives us a purpose.
Yeah...My purpose is safety though. What if something happens...you know? That's what motivates people to keep working even when they already have "it all"...But what do you think?
Well greed can motivate people to have it all, it gets to a stage in life, when you hit that peak, the fear of not being able to afford the best things of life makes people want to make more money. It's a good kind of greed though.
I guess
I have always known that I need people to create the vast majority of the wealth that I envision. Most people tend to underestimate this part of living. They feel they can work alone and make it.
What they forget is that if we work with people we will be able to go far. So, isolating oneself from people is a disastrous living. One needs to mingle especially with like-minded minds because this is how he or she will be able to access information. Especially information to propel them to their desired wealth.
I came to know about hive as a result of the people I knew. Before then, these guys were gave me the advantage to build different businesses opportunities online and today we've grown together as well as thrived together too. So I have come to learn so many experience that relates with knowing the right and wrong people. Money is on the result, people are the true value.
Sometimes, it's also the parents fault. One of the richest people in Ghana who bought a Bugatti earlier this year said, when his kids were younger, he will take them to the village for vacation. They experience live in the village and when they come back to the city, they appreciate having a hot bath. In the village, they have to walk to carry firewoods to start a fire before heating water to bath. Most rich parents suffered and see it as a "sin" to let their children suffer and sometimes makes the children not appreciate having a comfortable life.
I can't blame rich people for trying to pass their wealth to their children because is not easy out here, they understand that those kids will not understand how difficult it is to build from scratch instead to build on their father's wealth. We need people to go far in life, we should gather everybody we can because the uncertainty of tomorrow is what makes this important

You're right bro, however I think people who have suffered a lot in life are those that actually try to protect their children from suffering what they've suffered, but children born into wealth often underestimate the efforts of their parents.

They will learn, some of us need to learn

There is a big difference in this because there is a prayer we always wish to pray. May God never allow those who have before not have again. It's such a big shame when you are wealthy and because you couldn't continue or maintain it, you turn to a poor man. Whereas, it is still okay when you don't have but you became wealthy in the end.
I wouldn't want to blame some rich parents who wouldn't want their kids to suffer but to continue with the wealth they have created but to me, I think they should let their kids know what is happening out there. You cannot appreciate someone who has suffered a lot in the past if you haven't been in such challenge and there are still some kids who understands how it is to suffer and become wealthy.
These ones go out and work, thereby climbing the ladders with others to see how it feels before getting there. We can't climb the ladders alone and so, we surely need people to help us climb and wishing everyone to be at the top.
To be factual, most rich kids don't appreciate the efforts of their parents and this is understandable because most of these rich people do not instill the right knowledge into these kids. I do agree than this is a dicey topic but even as at that, we still have to understand that rich kids often misunderstand their parents. Eventually this is all due to priority and mentality. In life we cannot value what we didn't work for and this is why. However, it's not right to tie their future to a profession because they want to secure their future. Getting them to appreciate their status as rich kids is important as not everyone is previleged to be so.
Of course, this is where most parents are missing it. They should give their kids the opportunity to learn and truly appreciate their efforts for working up to that level of acquiring wealth. It is not easy, yes, but they have to understand that so they will learn to value and even respect common people who strive from the scratch to climb the ladder.
People see rich kids to have an exciting life, but some of them secretly yearn to live the lives the average person lives.
Being born into a rich family, you don’t get much say on what your life will look like because it most likely is already pre-decided by your parents. “You’ll inherit the family business and marry so and so, the daughter of xyz companies”. Even to a certain extent, their love life is affected. They’re not expected to date the average person, or engage in certain things the average person does.
“You get money, you get more problems. You get money, you multiply problems.” This is a line in Stonebwoy’s song-Problem. He basically talks about how neither been poor or rich is comfortable. It actually makes a lot of sense, your problems grow with your financial status. The richer you become, the less problems you have, but new problems far bigger than the ones you had to worry about previously pops up.
Well some who aren't rich will die or kill to experience what it feels to be rich. This is because sometimes I think, the thoughts of being wealthy and being the heir to inherit a lustrous empire is something that ticks the brain. However I do feel that it comes with it's disadvantages and advantages and many people will choose to be rich even if it means being a prisoner to their parents or guardian.
However, it gets to a point where people are tired and begining to seek their freedom once again. We don't know enough until we're there and have experienced it all.

Rich kids did not know anything about poverty or less privilege, they have been enjoying wealth right from their childhood.
They attended expensive schools and meet with other rich kids. Only the wise ones among them realise that the fingers are not equal.
The wise rich kid will maintain the wealth passed to him by his father, by investing and making more profits. While the foolish rich kid will lavish the money on Luxuries, clubbing, gambling etc
The most important thing here is that you must invest in yourself, engage in a profitable business and earn more money, irrespective of your status.
Thank you for sharing this amazing post, this is my first time commenting on your post, and I hope to enjoy more quality content.
Being rich is the dream of many and the achievement of few they always say that money is not happiness but it leaves you at the door of heaven when you do not have it you are on the other side as the saying goes some are born with stars and others starry
