Some of the white generational wealth I've seen as a financial advisor is actually scary. It's laughable that we expect people without that privilege to ever achieve success in the same ways and to the same degree. Chances are even if you do, you'll have had to work harder in your life than they ever have. Lowkey kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

Mostly people setting up funds and investments for kids who (if they don't want to) will never work a day in their lives and then will run for public office off the donations of their parent's even richer and more well connected friends.

Worry about yourself. Focus on your prize! Not other’s.

It definitely makes me angry and frustrated to see such a large discrepancy in wealth between different generations. It's unfair and unjust, and it's something that needs to change. We need to create a society where everyone has an opportunity to achieve success, regardless of their background or privilege.

Yep, it's a constant reminder in my field...that's why I don't think I'm gonna stick around long. Just gotta focus on building up my wealth to ensure my future generations are set - gotta continue the cycle lol!

I find this unfair. The fact that they don't even know how to value those things really triggers me. Well, I got bills to pay so I still need to work hard. Lol

My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her.

One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return. When I asked about this error, he had said “I had planned on your failure to appear” and that he preplanned giving me a 0 grade.
