Not trying to pick your response out in particular,but when we talk about growing up in a rich family, what type of rich family are we talking about? It feels like a lot of time with topics like this, we're using Bill Gates as the example of being rich. Isn't that a little off the mark? I had a bunch of friends from "rich" families growing up through high school. Most are lazy pieces of shit that haven't gotten anywhere close to achieving what their parents have. There are a few exceptions, but it is definitely below 50%. I see this all the time at work. Want to guess who the laziest employees are? The people who didn't have a job till after graduating college and came from families that didn't have much of a want for money. They stagnate. The kids who grew up struggling have largely continued to out work the others and their career progress has showed as much. The same goes for people I know who have inherited enough money to where inheritance tax comes in. When we talk about inheritance, are we talking about someone like this, or one of the few legitimate dynasties that still exist? If the former, a large percent will burn through their money within a short amount of time. There is a reason that generational wealth typically doesn't last that many generations. Again, if we're talking about someone like the Rothschild, then yeah, it is a bit different.
