    Who here will describe what it's like being born rich...

    any silver spooners want to cut the act that you earned every cent through hard work and determination? What about you Minte - were you born with the Lambo keys?

    seems like every one of my rich friends that inherited their wealth always act like they ground their knuckles to the bone to get there, would be refreshing to hear someone just come clean.

    Growing up I went to school with two kids that were from very well off families. I grew up in a small town so it was no secret that their families had a lot of cash. One of the kids was an absolute dick. His grandpa made the money by buying up a huge chunk of the land around the town when it first started to grow. Now much of what is the center of town is on his land and it is leased out to the building owners. The grandpa was no longer alive when I was in high school so this kids dad ran it and he made a habit of raising the rent all the time and suing people on a regular basis. His son, who was a grade below me, walked around like he owned the town and often referred to it as "his town."

    The other kid was actually pretty cool. His dad made his money with a trucking and logging company. In high school this kid did drive a 70's era Corvette, but he was actually a good guy. My understanding is that when he got out of school he started working for his dad on the bottom rung. His dad wanted him to learn the business from the ground up.

      This is the classic "My dad made me get a paper route when I was 12...I started at the bottom rung in the mail room" but the more you hear it's apparent all school debts paid by daddy, loans co-signed for, trust funds established.. blue blood runs in your veins and you're set from your first gasp after you slime your way outta momma.

        This is clear example how parenting, education and real/bad values produce good and bad shit on this planet.

              I am far from rich but do owe everything I have to a $75,000 loan I got from my grandfather, thru my father when I was 23. I did pay back $125,000 within 2 years.

              Paying the loan back was expected. The interest I insisted. On the other hand my brother and sister both graduated from college and their education bills were never paid back nor expected to be paid back. Go figure.

                    I hate to disappoint, but my first car was a 1960 VW Beetle that I paid $200 for. And I did deliver papers as a kid to earn it. I can thank the US Army for a good jumpstart in my career. Along with the solid work ethic and respect for the chain of command that I got from that experience I also got to use the GI bill for college.

                    I am nominated for Businessman of the Year in Wisconsin and If I win I will be sure to email you the link to the news articles. The complete story and history of the company is in it. We were also named this year as one of the 5 fastest growing plastics companies in the US.

                        I have known a few rich people/families in the past - It seems to me that it just means that when things are hard - IE now - Their problems are bigger than us poor people;-)...

                        I might struggle to pay a modest bill some months - They have bills that would make your eyes water that they struggle to pay - A lot of old money is tied up in property that often can't be touched.....

                        There are a lot of huge estates in the UK that have been turned into theme parks so that the 'super rich' owners can pay the bills...

                          This is just his feeble attempt to troll me. My guess is that because he has not been able to achieve any real earnings he finds it impossible to believe anyone else could.

                          And that in itself is humorous being posted at GFY. I think back over the years at how many extremely successful people have come and gone through here. I can't think of a single one of them whose father passed on the thriving porn business.

                              But you took over your daddy's established business, which pretty much ensured you would do well in life.
