Today, some guy said to my friend>you are lucky your parents are rich, not everyone is so luckyMy friend goes>wtf does that even mean? How come your parents aren’t rich? Are your parents stupid? You make it seem like being rich is based on luck and not intelligence. Does that mean your parents aren’t stupid AND unlucky?I have noticed a trend of the have-nots trying to pretend sons and daughters of rich parents “didn’t earn the money.”Imagine thinking Barron Trump didn’t “earn his money” or Elon’s kid also. I noticed the bottom 90% pretend it was just luckto make themselves feel better. Like come on, even your parents aren’t not rich which means you come from bad stock. Like okay, sure, “daddy’s money.” How come your dad is poor? Thoughts, /biz/?

>median HOUSEHOLD incomeWhy do they lie so muchA 22 year old in 1985 earning 20k is objectively different from a 22yo in 2023 earning 45k.And median household income, at a time when people got married earlier is completely different from the median now where people get married later. So 22yos are actually even poorer, usually starting around 30k.They lie so much it's no wonder people can't afford shit.
>>62144825I swear people who say “daddy’s money” are poor. Like lets say someone is rich and has kids, would that person ever say “daddy’s money?”It would not even make sense. Like “mom’s basement” is another insult working class brokies use.
>>62144801vote for open borders to add more illegals to compete with for housing and jobs. illegals obviously dont hurt the working class in any way ;)
>>62144840What are you talking about?The chart already shows the home price increasing even more.
>>62144840If people couldn't afford shit, shit'd go cheaper, wouldn't it? There are buyers for these $2M SFHs. Plenty of.
>>62144886Yeah, the masses are poor and think everyone is as poor as them. They think they are important too.

>>62144801Is this a purposeful fake engagement ragebait retardpost?
>>62144840>now where people get married laterGet married earlier then, since you know it's such a massive wealth multiplier you don't really have an excuse to keep sitting in your mother's boyfriend's basement sulking about how poor you are.
>>62144801Sounds like how nepo babies talk
>>62144801>I have noticed a trend of the have-nots trying to pretend sons and daughters of rich parents “didn’t earn the money.”IQ is largely genetic but also success was much more nepotism & regionally based 1-2 generations ago so yes it is just luckBut basically if you're less successful than your parents you're a loser and will never be self made
>>62145262> But basically if you're less successful than your parents you're a loserBrokie cope. How can Arnold’s son be more successful than Arnold?> and will never be self madeAnother brokie cope. Who cares?>what color is your bugatti?Exactly.
>>62144886supply is artificially limited and there are plenty of rich people
>>62145211Why would a MAN get married?Girls only think about and get married once they see their looks fade. Imagine following a girls biological clock. Endless supply of girls turning 18, there is no rush.
>>62145262every time i hear a normie complaining about literally anything i just shit about 3 solid pounds of shit out of my ass, feels a lot better afterwards
>>62144825This counts people holding grossly overinflated homes valued at 7 figs that no one will ever buy for that much. Its a meaningless stat.
>>62145487Yeah, it is called networth. But houses are expensive for a reason.
>>62145301>Brokie cope. How can Arnold’s son be more successful than Arnold?midwit cope Plenty of people far more successful than their rich parents like pic related elon and trump who are both retards. But somehow you're content in your parent's shadow
>>62144976yes he makes the "people dont think im retired in my 20s and theyre stupid" threads too
>>62145449So stay poor then, just stop whining about it. It was your choice to trade pussy for money.
>>62145521Brokie cope. And you know it. He used his parent’s money anyways which is fine with me. He just grew it.
>>62144801TRVTH NVKE
>>62144801>Imagine thinking Barron Trump didn’t “earn his money” or Elon’s kid also. Yeah sure but how does it benefit me?Trump's son having "earned his money" with tips about oil mooning doesn't benefit me
>>62145534How does what you're saying benefit him?If you're gonna be useless then there's no reason for you to say anything. If you have nothing to say then shut up.
>>62146619>OP asks for advice>OP gets advice>(you) nooooo you can't do that this isn't /adv/OP's not gonna fuck you no matter how hard you simp for him, faggot.
I don't know OP, there is a saying "he was born on 3rd base so he thinks he hit a home run".
>>62144976yes, its generally by poor brown people. They are as obsessed with counting other peoples money as kikes are.
the average American makes 115k after taxes. the average Amercian houshold takes home 250k.
>>62146960>>OP gets adviceHe's probably still waiting
>>62144801My family isn't poor but not rich either. I make a good wagie wage of $150k/yr in my late 30s, comparable to what my dad made adjusted for inflation, but I am still a wagie. It isn't luck. Some of it is environment, some of it may even be genetics, but assuming your parents had you and raised you intentionally it's due to their actions and decisions that you are where you are and subsequently your grandparents and so on. I did not receive any direct financial help from my parents apart from them giving me a good classical education that was homeschool when I was little and then a private high school. That is an advantage over just sticking your kids in public school as it meant I was able to have my college education mostly paid for with grants and did much better than average there which lead to good internships and a jump start on a career. I also have parents who stayed together their whole lives. They provide a safety net I can fall back on temporarily if things go a little wrong without having to worry about being financially rekt. While I haven’t made use of this personally a couple of my siblings have and stayed with them while getting back on their feet. What this has done for me personally however is enable me to take some risks to increase my own position without worry. I'm also involved in my local church community thanks to my parents which is where I found my wife, where I found other job opportunities, and even smaller things like just being able to get a lot of items like furniture, baby stuff, etc for free, having people to split a whole cow for beef with, baby sitters, piano lessons for the kids, stuff like that. This is a type of wealth that is unquantifiable but has a marked impact on your ability to thrive and progress. So even though I didn't get a free million dollars from my parents or anything like that, the way they raised me and the environment they put me in set me up to also be solidly middle class.
>>62148071Genetically speaking there is spousal choice, another kind of unquantifiable factor that affects not just intelligence, but also physical capabilities, looks, etc. It's not random, it's not luck, it's a choice.I am doing the same things for my kids. They may not become ultra wealthies, but I can at least give them every advantage in becoming little chads and making it to the upper half of wagies.
>>62144801Technically they didn’t earn but that doesn’t mean the aren’t entitled to it.My kids will get a healthy inheritance, I think that’s one of the responsibilities of parenthood.
>>62144801BRING OUT THE GUILLOTINE
>THATS BECAUSE POVERTY IS A CHOICE
>>62144801Sometimes its skill, sometimes its luck, most often its a combination of both. And on top of that you need to be driven by ambition (ie. have high T levels).
>>62145262>but also success was much more nepotism & regionally based 1-2 generations agoThe location part is a huge factor that very few people talk about nowadays. Back in the day there was very little chance to leave you area if you were poor and needed to help your parents around and no internet meant that all the wealth was built up on specific cities depending on the field of work instead of being spread around a bit like nowadays. But really another huge factor is that most people in the past didn't try to get wealthy because of a combination of religion and not needing to, since life was so easy mode that you could live very comfortably unless you were dirt poor. There was very little reason to try and make it past the average and, even though it was easier than now at the right places (in part because location gatekept workforce competition as mentioned before), it still required a lot of effort unless you were a nepo baby, so most just found a level where they were comfortable and chilled there.Now the entire middle class is getting squeezed out, so you either make it or fall down, and people have become obsessed about monetary wealth to the point of mental illness because of this. The average zoomer would rather risk his current standard of living for a chance to make it into a higher class than remaining the same and watching how they get slowly pushed into a lower class than they started at. This is why everyone is gambling on stocks or prediction markets and why people go en masse into proffessions like software engineering and law where the average is kinda mid but the top 10% make crazy money, even if they don't have any actual interest on those fields of work and chances are they will make the same money as any other educated job they could have liked more. All generations are a product of their environment when growing up, and the way the current young gens are growing up is tailor made to turn them into sociopathic gamblers.
>>62144801Income, and deriving an "income" is largely tied to business and their desire to hire people at a 1) livable wage and 2) not hire down or eliminate positions as they have for the last 30-40 years.Having a job does not guarantee stability or success as corporations have continuously eroded the cost of labor by a) outsourcing b) offshoring c) making 1 person responsible for 5 peoples jobs d) importing foreign labor (h1b's etc) to erode wages even further. and e) union busting to ensure that nobody in the working class can rally for better pay, working conditions, stability, overtime pay etc...basically, for the last 40 years large corporations (usually multi-nationals) have conspired together to erode wages and destroy the working class. who are now being displaced and replaced with foreign labor, automation and robots.
I have an unrelated pet peeve of mine. I'm sick and fucking tired of millennials larping as if it's still 2015 and they're paying off student loans on a one-store apartment.I applaud the ones that understand that they're getting old. The delusion can't last forever. It's the ones that pretend they're still rocking the boat despite having a house and a savings account on the 6 digits.
>>62144801poor people do not understand rich people's problems and rich people do not understand poor people's problems.there is no solution. they will always be in conflict with each other.rich people never have or have forgotten what its like to be poor so they repeat the same regurgitated bullshit about how poor people are stupid and lazy etc.some of it is true but much of it is also out of touch. it definitely helps to have a network of other rich people for opportunities a poor person will just never encounter in their entire lives.access to favorable loans etc.on the opposite you have poor people who have a bunch of prejudice about how rich people got rich in the first place and what it takes to actually stay rich and a lot of that is also out of touch.again, there is no solution.in general, people are too full of themselves on both sides.
>>62148905Nigger the only thing I have six figure of is dead and yes I am still paying student loans.
>>62148905>dis nigga over here doesn't understand arrested development from 20 years of bait and switch careersI'm not in that boat; I have a PhD and a stable career (that pays like half of what it should), but I get what my peers are going through. Everything past 9/11 has been a downhill slide into a cratering society/civilization and constant economic downturn plastered over by the money printer. There's very few opportunities to bounce back if you get kneecapped with a layoff/accident/divorce/etc since its hard enough to get started with anything in the first place. Some of those people admittedly never tried, and they're losers; the ones that just got both barrels of reality to the face and can't muster the energy to start over I have some amount of sympathy towards
>>62144850My jewish professor told me immigrants grow the economy tho
>>62149402>Everything past 9/11 has been a downhill slide into a cratering society/civilization and constant economic downturn plastered over by the money printer.I wouldn't say constant but yes.>the ones that just got both barrels of reality to the face and can't muster the energy to start over I have some amount of sympathy towardsYou lost me at "can't muster the energy to start over".
>>62150364Tell me that again when you've spent 20 years pouring your life into something and have it fall out from underneath you. Its easier to paint yourself as a never gonna die hero before it happens to you. I've seen it mess some people up pretty hard
>>62150531>Its easier to paint yourself as a never gonna die heroI was thinking more of a normal person but obviously all you understand is the delusions of grandure the baby boomers raised you towards but could never meet.
>>62150834All that made up headcanon is cool and whatever, but congratulations on never having been close to genuine hardship. I hope it stays that way for you
