Making Money in a Privileged World

Making money today is no joke. Everywhere you look, it seems like children of the rich get everything without much hassle. They get the resources and the connections literally handed to them. My TikTok feed is now flooded with rich kids showing off Ferraris and Lambos and I almost get a tear in my eyes knowing how much such a car costs. If only I'll have that price of the car as the money in my bank account.
The drive these cars and go on expensive trips and have all the girls meanwhile, we're out here grinding trying to get a little favour. It ain't about the hours no more, it's about the ways in an unjust world. It's just tiring to see them succeed so easily while we stay struggling to get noticed or earn a decent living.
One of my friends hold two jobs to pay for rent and to save a little, while a classmate from school started his business with money and connections from his family. When you see such huge differences in opportunities, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed and little bit frustrated. I'm not talking about greed or jealousy I'm talking about how we don't start on the same level and yet the most is demanded from us.
This resource gap is very evident these days since the rich kids have social media to flaunt the wealth. They get the best education, right contacts and even safety nets in case of failure. We on the other hand, rely solely on ourselves and mostly without a backup plan. It's like running with weights on your back as opposed to others sprinting forward with no weights at all.
Yet, we continue to grind and in the process, we turn out to be more resourceful, resilient, and determined.
It's very difficult going through a world tilted by privilege and the disparity between the rich kids and average people is way too obvious.

In the world today it’s more about who you know instead of what you know. At the same time though, thats been the case for decades.
What you shouldn’t do though is think anything you see on the Tok platform is legitimate, especially idiots posing with expensive cars. There’s been so many articles exposing those frauds for what they are, liars. They go to a car dealership and strike a deal with them to rent the car for a few hours, and maybe even a house. They record a few videos doing stupid shit and then post it, give the car back and go back to normal shit or even a slightly expensive car like a bmw or something.
Take ANYTHING you see on there with a pound of salt. As for the local kids who started a business, that you have more faith in being legitimate. It may be difficult but it happens a lot.
The best thing to do is use that stuff for motivation to figure out what you can do to hustle and make some more money. If you hustle long enough you may be able to afford it, or even better invest in something worth it and get past the stupid expensive cars as they are a complete waste of money and time. Drive a decent but basic car and you’re much better off. Eventually you’ll realize having those assets invested and making you long term money is better than pissing it down the drain for some flashy piece of garbage.
this is good motivation and advice you're giving me friend.. you're right there are a lot of fake lives on TikTok. I'll just focus on my personal hustle. Thank you so much
I saw this the other day randomly again and saved it to show to you. So many people on there are completely fake. Just do your own thing!
hahahahha my goodness, is this how far these influencera will go... I don't think I can live with myself pretending while knowing this ain't my life
