I used to work for very rich lawyers who had HUGE problems: for example, will the family spend their holidays on the French Riviera or the Swiss Alps; should they increase the allowance to the daughter who's off to finishing school (her allowance was more than the amount the government had been paying me to support myself and my daughter before I found a job) and I could go on, but just remembering their elitist selfishness makes me feel quite ill even now, years later.
I'm poor financially and so are the vast majority of my friends, but we know how to enjoy life, which in my experience a lot of wealthy people don't, except to spend more and more money on things they don't need.
How did most of them get so rich anyway? At other peoples' expense in the vast majority of cases or by inheritance, not by hard work.
