Play the rules and become part of the 0.1 % I guess.
The middle class is shrinking, the rich are growing. There are a lot more millionaires now then there used to be.

Work hard, make money, be happy. The problem now is that with media, everyone knows what everyone else has. Everyone knows what kin of cars celebs drive, what charity events wealthy people are attending, how mich people are spending. Before the internet no one knew. Now there are jealous people, haters etc... People see more of it an want it and are not content with what they have. Even if it is enough to have a good life.

But there are many other countries where the division of rich a d poor is much greater then the USA
