Why are you jealous of him instead of Saudi princes?
This issue scales all the way up. Yes, rich kids get shit for free. No, there’s no “flipside” to that coin where they’re ackshually secretly miserable. They are happy to get shit for free and they feel immense security and confidence because of it. But does that actually take anything meaningfully from you? At least this guy is your fuckin’ friend instead of the Saudi prince.
I grew up around extremely rich people that mogged the absolute fuck out of the technically upper middle class thing my family had going on. I never really thought about envy, though. I just thought it was cool that they shared all their rich people shit with me and took me on expensive vacations and, when we all turned 16, let me recklessly drive their dads’ cars with everyone else even though my dad didn’t have one.
As I grew into adulthood, I’ve found that I just don’t pursue money all that hard. If I want to spend lots of it then I’ll just make a rich friend and spend theirs. Done it plenty of times. You don’t even have to be a girl, just be fun and don’t seethe with envy but I digress.
But maybe I never cared because I’m not motivated by money. You are, though (and I’m not saying that’s a problem).
I am motivated by impressing other people so I get envious of people with better/more developed impressive skills than mine. It mostly just inspires me to try harder, though.

>Why are you jealous of him instead of Saudi princes?
because unlike some oil sandnigger this mog feels much much closer to home,
much more real life

because okey he is definately more wealthy than me
but not wealty wealthy

however what bothers me is that he will be in a COMPLETLY different place in his life at age in his mid to late twenties, probably married already, starting a family

meanwhile I will probably still be a manchild, living with my parents, still in college (because unlike in the US in my shity country you actually are required to get masters in law to even be allowed to practice),

and that's the thing fast cars like you mentioned
sure this sounds cool I get it
but rental property is something different.
like maybe I am just a bitter faggot incel but how am I supposed to be happy that he will be getting basically my monthly working salary from pple he rents these flats to?

You can’t possibly be that bitter and that big of a faggot, ultimately, if you’re self reflective about it and clearly see that the envy is negative. And not only that, you’re looking for a way to remove it instead of tearing this other guy down. You’re a good guy. It hurts to be a good guy and get less than other people
Every single one of those friends got brand new German cars as their first while I didn’t even get a shitbox until 18. Every single one of those kids drives a brand new German car now. Some of them own properties and some were so rich that they literally don’t even give a fuck and just live off the bank of dad. And their dads tend to be pretty good guys, in my experience, who just do shit for them because “why the fuck else did I work so hard”
They all accelerated past me in life just like what you’re talking about and they can still move faster and more freely through all life situations than me. I’ll probably end up with a big house because my family saved well and I’ll inherit quite a bit. I can have the one thing- a 3 story house with some land in a low cost of living area. I’ll never have a huge house with brand new cars every year. I’ll never own three houses or have an extra one in Florida with an indoor pool just because (one friend actually does have that). They really will just get a new gf and take her to Europe 3x in the first year.
It just gets to the point where I really don’t give a fuck. Not in the mean way, just in the absolute-indifferent way. I don’t really even know how I would start to give a fuck. That shit just happens to people.
I can get pretty fucking tilted myself if I dive into my insecurities and pick at the scabs of envy but that’s a pretty useless activity. I guess that’s what it comes down to. Don’t be poor AND ineffectual.

There is always a bigger dog.
I do pretty well, but I have a friend who started a company in his mid 20s that got acquired for 10s of millions of dollars.
He still has less than Jeff Bezos.
Jeff Bezos has less than Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world (that we know of) an even he pales in comparison to some ancient emperors like Mansa Musa when you adjust for current day money.
The point is, keep your side of the street clean, and always try to improve yourself. But remember that if you have food on the table and a roof over your head you're really doing fine. Everything else is just extra. There is always someone to be jealous of and if you get into that mental spiral no matter what you have it won't be enough for you.

I believe this was actually debunked

>>34853645
You can still do the setting up family shite whilst in your worse financial state and well you're probably less of a manchild if you're doing more work than them

>>34853819
Oh okay I was wrong about one thing so you can disregard my entire post. You should always feel jealous of everyone for everything and be miserable all the time, my bad.

>>34853437
When you think of being envious of someone, be happy for them instead. Everybody can't be rich. So be happy someone is rich. And having rich friends is useful, perhaps you can use him to network and some money will splash your way. Instead of being immature and alienating him.
Or find some kind of weird pride in being not-rich. It seems to work for many people.

>>34853437
If he's your ACTUAL friend you'd be happy for his good fortune. There's no point in being mad that others have more stuff than you, it doesn't change your situation. Your friends doing good means you have a good social safety net, because friends help eachother.

You want to be jealous of people, be jealous of the people who make more money playing videogames on stream than you will in law.

But more importantly, money is far from everything. You're a self-conscious faggot about it because you're still a child, a life well lived >>> money. As long as you have enough to have a roof over your head, food, air conditioning and videogames, life is good.

kill your parents since they failed to provide for you
