ah, thats just at first.

you two are dealt with different cards in life. different upbringing, different plates, different problems, and even different luck.

it's okay to contrast and compare, gotta see life as it is, lol. but you gotta factor in things that are out of our control.

gotta make something out of what we have. regardless if we make it that big or not, an ounce of appreciation of what's infront of us really goes a long way.

nothing wrong in striving towards comfort and luxury, nothing wrong in being a little salty on how others get it easier (some are even born to it, right lol). just see and live life as it is.

oh, typing this as a broke guy in mid 20s. had spent time in a room with people worth 8 to 9 figs too.

and i can tell you, even 0.01% of their net worth would give me hell of a good time for weeks, haha.

fuck. fffffuck.

This reminds me of the adage that most people don't want to have a million dollars, they want to spend it.

You don't become a millionaire by spending a million dollars, but by _not_ spending it.

Maybe when you are young... I always wanted a lot of money not to spend it but to do whatever I want. So freedom. And for me freedom is cheap so I have always been rich in my mind. I want to work with people I like, take off when I want to etc but I do not care, at all, about having stuff or luxury.

Had not heard that one, that's very good.

all i thought was ways to spend it
