Then there's my friend. He works 9 to 5 and isn't unionised. He seems to automatically disconnect as soon as money is in the conversation. He often mentions how "you don't need to be a millionnaire in life" and "Money doesn't bring you happiness"
Well no shit. But i can guarantee you I'll get my financial freedom and I won't live from paycheck to paycheck til i'm 65.
Sometimes I feel like he expected me to never accomplish anything in life and is trying to dissuade me from pursuing wealth and financial freedom.
I'm not perticularly successful but considering I'm a full time student and that I make more than any one of my friends, it might piss him off a bit.
My question is this: Do you have childhood friends with whom similar situations have emerged? Do some of the people you know try to dissuade you from working harder to make money?

Jealousy is veering its ugly head!
With money you have the freedom to do as you like, go where you please and help those who need it. You also have the option of working harder for more of it!
Its when you become materialistic and look down on those who do not have your good fortune that you become a bastard.
