You can work smart, and earn it. But buying slaves to do your job and treating them like crap is where i draw the line.
So nobody that is financially independent or successful every struggled or had challenges ??

I don’t get your logic .

We’ve already provided that your “theory” that the rich were born rich is a myth and the reality is most millionaires are self made.

The idea that everyone that became successful was handed a job at their parents big company is incorrect

Of course that happens but it’s not the norm . And most business owners realize it’s a bad idea so they will start their kids out at the bottom so they can learn the business from the bottom up.

O please, most were handed their jobs just base on their name alone. I.E Trumps, crapdashians, clintons. Take away their parents, what skills do they have? or how did they get in to "ivy league" schools.
Its normal to see this and i have yet to see a business owner make their own child go clean the toilets to understand the business.

And yes, you can be born rich and dont have to lift a finger in life thanks to mommy and daddy wealth.

Where's the beating a dead horse emoji?
The op thinks he is a hard working individual. I would argue that he is not. He works one job and is content to stay at the same status and hope things are given to him. Others work 2 jobs or elevate themselves to earn more money. I think people like the op should be required to work another job and go to school to experience the hard work and extra effort it takes to get ahead. But alas he is just waiting to get his inheritance. He is the person he claims to despise.

A lot of kids are fortunate to get into the family business, but many start at the bottom and work their way up. That's how they learn to run the business by doing all aspects along. The way.

But you don't have the money to move let alone purchase any sized lot or build a 400-sf house, so, as Joey Tribbiani said on Friends, the Point is Moo.

The power of communities to regulate the use, height, coverage and setback of buildings and the density of residential development is firmly established in law that and has been tested at both State and US Supreme Courts.

The justification for regulating density is similar to that for the regulation of height and coverage. Indirectly, the control of density may ensure adequate light and air, may eliminate congestion with its attendant fire and traffic hazards, and may contribute to the creation of a neighborhood of pleasing homogeneity. A more positive reason for controlling density is that such control permits adequate planning of community facilities and utilities on the basis of the number of families per acre. Where density is regulated, it is often more possible to predict the future requirements for school facilities, for sewer and water system capacities, and for the many other facilities affected by population density.

That's because you like to hide in your own little bubble.
I know people who owned restaurants that made their kids bus tables and wash dishes. Then cook and wait. Then run the night shifts.
I know a plumber who owns his own company now and makes his kid did trenches, crawl under houses, and do some pretty yucky work to learn.
These people don't want their kids taking over the business and feeling entitled like you feel.

Btw, aren't you supposed to be hard at work now instead of posting on the internet?

Hmm, maybe if we relax building codes he can build a house out of that huge porno collection he has. Chop it up and mix with glue and water.

Can you be specific?

I haven't seen any people in these forums constantly brag about being rich. Actually, I'm unaware of anyone ever claiming to be rich.

You dont know me just like i dont know you, but i am the hardest working person next to the person in your cubical. Yes i can work 2 jobs, but why do that when one can and has paid my bills. Nobody would need to work 2 jobs if they are paid correctly and get COL increases. I got my first COL increase first time with this company after being here for a year. All other places i worked, they laugh and your stuck with same pay rate till you die. I thought the day would never come where i can be treated like a human being that deserves to get paid well and have respect of others. As for my "in hesitance", its only 100k and it going to be split between 3 kids, and funeral costs. I wouldnt call it much of a inheritance other then it just covers their bills and other needs. Their "WILL" said that each child must prove the worked for 20 years before they can get a check. So they are making sure we are being productive in society.


Now with your quote about kids in the family business, i seriously doubt they are starting at the bottom min wage class to learn the business. When was the last time you walk in a mulit million building and see the owner son opening the door for customers, or taking out the trash. That the bottom of the business if they want them to start their.
