Apparently having money and doing whatever you please now days is frowned upon.
I think this is amazing truth. I grew up upper middle class and my best friend grew up SUPER wealthy. I was so driven after spending all of my middle-high school days being able to be apart of that family. I went to school and studied finance (like my friends father!) The point being is I wanted to be successful. I admired him and his accomplishments. These days, being successful almost seems like a stigma. My daily driver is 09 VW passat wagon! I sold the Porsche after taking heaps of **** from people in parking lots who didn't know me. My wife drives a Suburban, dumping the Benz after taking heat from people she didn't know. I don't live in a 90K foot house, nor do I live in a "ritzy" neighborhood. I choose to live out on some land and spend money on toys at home. The amount of 'kidding' I get for being successful at school functions, sporting events is unreal.
