There is nothing wrong with embracing your family's name and wealth. If you use and manipulate people because of it then you have a problem.
Im 25 aswell and understand where your coming from. The difference is my parents pushed my siblings and I to acheive things on our own. We've all acheived success in our own right. Yes wolves in sheeps clothing do befriend and use you. It is important to keep your gaurd up. It is much safer to be within your social class. We are not all stuck up and conceited. Majority of us are just assured and confident in ourselves. My parents instructed this to me at a young age. Never give your full name when requested. Without it people cant identify or associate you with your family. As for me moving to different states did not help. There is someone that knows of my family. So by not utilizing my last name things have been nice. And know 411 beacon go out. ha ha
The are certain advantages regarding hanging out with upper class people. One of the most important, is that they actually don't make a big deal about money all the time. Surprisingly, the wealthiest people I know are extremely objective when it comes to money. For example, they have no problem saying that a restaurant is too expensive and have no problem borrowing money either. Middle class people are usually too proud to accept money from anyone or to claim something is out of their reach.
Is it normal that I wish my family was not that wealthy?
