What is it like to be rich from day one.

I was rich from day 1 but not monetarily.
I was lucky to have good parents, we didn’t go hungry and we were clothed and most of all loved.

You want to see my portfolio today? I’ll open my wallet and show you a picture of my kids. That’s my idea of wealth.

go to slums, and not longer than one minut you will be asked that question man, now you know how is it feel to be rich? or mabey, richer than someone, there always will be poorer and richer peoples, there was time tat there were socialistic ideas in my mind, but they jus sprayed on wind of capitalism

not positive thread at all

A friend is very rich thanks to his family and has never wanted for anything. His house is bought and paid for, he has two cars, a good non stress job etc and you know what he tells me.

I wish i was you, at least you earned what you have. That kinda sums it up for me. Silver spoons often dull with age it seems. Ironically, i envy his options, not his money.

The guy who owns the company I work for is a millionaire - he got his money the old fashioned way. He inherited it - his grandfather started company, made mega $$$, left it to his son. He rolled the $$$ forward, and left it to his son.

That dickhead has no concept of what it is like to earn his way. He recently put one of his own companies into receivership - 3 weeks before xmas.

This was after weeks of telling the good folks that worked there that things were looking good. He convinced these poor bastards that he was behind them - conned them into staying, and not looking for other jobs.

He did this so he wouldn't have to pay any of them their outstanding vacation pay, and by being the receiver of the company, managed to screw them all outta separation pay, etc.
:fsu:
Then he had the nerve to call one of them over the xmas holidays - needed help with a repair to one of his expensive aircraft/toys. Apparently got really nasty when told no - the guy wouldn't leave his family to go to the US and help him out.

Guess what is going on where I work - yup, getting the same BS lines he used on the other folks. I requested my outstanding vacation pay right away - also told his 2nd in command at a meeting that I thought they were all full of shit, and the promises, etc. they were giving us were so much smoke being blown up our asses. The fellows face puckered up like I'd handed him a dirty diaper - he was indignant. :badday:

If Mr. Moneybags ever had to work for a real living, he'd drop dead.

The rich get rich on the sweat of others - stay rich by screwing everyone they can.

Folks like that deserve to have their greedy, immoral assholes sealed with PL construction glue and then be force-fed huge amounts of rancid pork, so they can drown in their own shit.

Fucking Corpo-Nazi scumwads.....

It is a curse, they have no spirit, ethics, or values, and no purpose or work ethic. I would sooner sit around any fire in a slum than have to go and eat with rich folks, it is cleaner.

lol, Yep Roofing that’s what I did when I first left school. Great crew I worked with, we were freaking hardcore. Roofing and Ironwork has to be the 2 best trades to realize the meaning of "earning".

Well, not me (wasn't born then), but till the 50s, my family were Zamindars (manorial lords). Had enough land to be considered a "city"- and the size of our home was the size of an average street in the US. Had a bespoke Packard car, a few plymouths as well. One of the rooms was designed by a UK architect, another by a Frenchman. I saw the pics- it was grand.

But when nationalisation was announced, the land redistribution progs came out in full swing and all our lands got seized and we knew this well before it started. Got offers from UK to settle down there. We flicked those offers off and I'm kinda happy to report, my family gracefully gave up the land and their holdings.

Well, we figured those lands were converted into coop farms, into housing complexes, schools, colleges, light factorys etc., and that the emancipation of a 100,000 people is more important than the extravagance of a sole family.

In short we invested in the future generation instead, which made us wealthier if you think of it. I'd rather inherit a land to my future generation where 100,000 people are well secured contributing members to society rather than give my future gens. a piece of land w/ 100,000 destitudes (had we liquidated our land before the nationalisation). And destitude situations seduces the human brain into entering a life of crime. Do I want to inherit a land w/ 100,000 well settled folks or a land w/ 100,000 desperate folks, secceptable to crime- for my kids? A 100,000 well settled folk = 100,000 less potential criminals.

EVERYTHING in life has a boom-bust cycle. Your fav. football team. Your sex life. YOur friends circle. Your career. Your country. Your fav. movie star...and most certainly, your money. If you guys kno Aurangazeb, he was at one point, the most feared warlord in Asia and the Middle East. Today, his descendants are cleaning municipal ditches and pulling carts. And you'd think that a warlord who was well known throughout a large continent would've hoarded enough $$$ for more than a few hundred generations...

If you help ppl out during and "share the loot" durin your "boom" period, when the business cycle starts frowning upon you (i.e. you enter a "bust" period), then those you helped will come out as well wishers and give you a safety blanket during your rough phases. If you fuck people over and start wealth hoarding at all costs, during your "boom" period, when you enter a "bust"- then those you fucked over come out as ill wishers and push you down even harder.

It's foolish to think that people won't help first if you help 'em out first. The fact that we lost nearly everything we owned and bounced back strongly disproves that entirely. My grandpa and father worked hard- but they were helped along the way.

Nowadays, people in general (NOT all) have a very single faceted approach to life, which is kinda worrying. LOTS of guys with plentiful of business talent nowadays falter in the longer run because of their narrowminded version of what an "investment" is. Short run investment (i.e. wealth accumulation) is WAY diff. than long run investment (i.e. creating a better foundation for your younger generation). Without a long run plan, the fruits of your investment will be...short lived.

I see many cheating and frauding their way to the top. Some even make a 100,000 into a million in 2 quarters. Once on the top, tho, they run into a problem (EVERY business / career runs into problems) and they get donkey fucked on all sides by those who fucked them over.

nothing makes me more angry then when i used to hang out with my friends that worked at best buy and wal-mart. they'd complain how tired they were after working 7 hours at a register. yet i was on a roof for 10-12 hours in 110 degree heat and extreme cold. i worked with a few good crews, had a boss that let me smoke joints and blunts while i worked. theres a reason why so many roofers have painkiller habits.

Strange you mention that...

Actually, when I did a very "relaxed" work routine in a very good white collar job, in both Citibank and with a VC (venture capitalist) in a VERY comfortable centrally airconditioned working area, with all sortsa "perks", I'd complain worse than Saddam Hussien during his trial.

Now, I'm doing a MUCH more "blue collar" field trade (business)- leather trading. As a trader, you undertake manufacturing as well since no factory guarantees quality. Working under asbestos roof with outside temps soaring at 38 degrees celcius, walking into lime pits, working w/ hazardous acids. Having your finger tops fucked up because of working w/ dyes and chems. And that nauseating smell of industrial sludge. But what do you know, I don't complain + I like my business WAY more than I liked my previous white collar jobs.

I guess we can't immediately assume that all guys and gals think white collar = better. I found white collar job boring as FUCK. I'd basically count from 1 to 1000 slowly, just to kill time. I suppose seeing a physical product you made yourself is more gratifying to some than say, punching numericals and preparing powerpoint presentation slides in the computer.

But yea, most societys kinda attach an outrageously higher value to white collar professions, which is pretty sad.

I hear all of ya'll. I'm a grunt by nature I guess and love physical punishment lol but it does take a toll on your body. I went back to school and made way to a white collar job in the tech industry. I was green as green when I got there felt as if I didn’t fit in, but always had my hands as a memory with caulis and scars from work related injuries to remind me why I was there. I excelled at that job like all trades I worked in.

Well long story short, the tech field bellied up and sent the job overseas. It was a blessing in disguise. I started my own business. Don’t have deal with corporate nutsuckers and ass kissers and no blood curling foremen screaming at the top of his lungs because he didn’t get any pussy the night before.

And once they get really good at it - in 5 yrs or so - give them a brush to use.
