Confucian said: Rich but my dad went full retard with his money. He spent millions on clothes and art...2 things that become absolutely worthless the second you buy them.
I didn't really reap the benefits of growing up with a rich parent. I got a car at 16 and went on a few vacations, but obviously he was the one with millions in his bank account.
He loved the power of having money. Other kids with rich dad's would get $20 a day or have some money in their pocket. I'd have to wait until he was around and beg (well, ask) for $5 to go to McDonald's. God forbid he give me $50 a week for spending and food money. No, I have to come beg like a dog for $5 to go eat fast food.
Anyways, he was such a moron with his millions he ended up slowly going broke over the course of 15 or so years. He had maybe 1.2 million in a trust fund that dwindling down to about 600K during the start of the Great Recession. He yanked it out and started investing money into scams. For example, he gave some dude on Craigslist $60,000 to be a ¨business partner" in some nursing home with the promise of getting $6,000 a month income. Such a retard. The guy he gave the money to drove a beat up van. Robbed blind.
He thought the scams that go to your email were real and invested thousands in everything that came to him.
He should have easily had $10 million just by doing some basic low risk investments like Microsoft, McDonald's, Walmart, etc.
But ya, he spent a huge chunk of his millions on clothes.
It's irritating to think about because I should be riding his coattails and be a millionaire trust fund baby right now, but because he was such a fool...
He was a podiatrist (foot doctor) and probably made around 300 thousand or so a year, and that was in the 80s and 90s...
He was also a spoiled brat only child and while he was rich he convinced his parents that he was poor and robbed them blind too. They saved up a lot of money and after he was down to a couple hundred K he'd pull them into the scams too. He easily dwindled them out of 300 to 400,000 over the course of 5 or so years. They gave him money voluntarily but it was basically a con game he was playing with them. It's pretty disgusting.
this folks the the makings of the entitled class, a welfare queen
Learn to have some perspective, and use your small brain to try to relate to another person's life.
If your dad had it made, with millions in the bank (eventually lost), a million-dollar plaza (lost), a million dollar home (lost), conned his own parents out of $100s of thousands of dollars (cash), you'd probably be a little irritated that he was a fool also.
I know your brain isn't functioning that great, but how does someone that had to beg for $3 to go to McDonald's while his father was a multi-millionaire the making of a welfare queen...This was also decades ago so your prediction has failed miserably.
I have a bit of perspective
my father was the son of a wealthy family, he was angry just like you, he went to some of the finest private schools and was kicked out of most of them, he was lazy and didnt work because he knew he'd be seeing some money. he went through the motions of working, he schooled as a hair stylist, he schooled as a mechanic, he was damned good at both. he even had a job with the railroad but he couldnt be bothered to show up. he went to prison for murder because he felt he needed to be a hitman, he was released after 3 years because of a civil rights violation, the warden wouldnt let him have a news paper from his home town. while he was in prison he discovered heroin and his trust fund went to that. millions pissed away, he had 'adopted' the son of a hooker that he had married, she died from an OD, he almost died several times, a few times because his dealer was apparently trying to kill him. when he finally died due to colon cancer (doc said it was drug related) he and his son were living in an old broken down RV in a campground in tennessee. he skipped around a lot because child support enforcement was after him. $100/mo per kid for 3 kids but that's $300/mo less he'd have for his habit
me, I worked from the time I was 12, I started as a busboy in a buffet restaurant, nearly every thing I made went to support the family. I got out of school and walked to work a mile away, I worked until 10pm when we closed. by 14 I was doing dishes in the kitchen and at 16 I went to a BBQ restaurant as a dishwasher, I still worked full time and all my money still went to support the family. yeah, my mom worked, she never missed a day unless it was unpreventable. the thing is, even as a business owner you sometimes dont make as much as your employees once the overhead is covered. mom applied for food stamps, she was turned down. she drove a $400 car for 8 years and then after is was totaled she managed to get a $900 car from the insurance money. every week my $100 paycheck went to my mom, she smoked and drank coffee, no drugs, no alcohol, they werent priorities when she had kids to raise and because money was so tight, my $400 a month went to the rent or some of the other bills so we could have things like porkchops or chicken on thursday to break up the monotony of cabbage, beans, potatoes and rice
My mom bought my first car for me, I paid for it, I was delivered a 1974 ford Pinto in white, it had 80k miles and I put another 100k on it before the engine blew. it was my ride at the ripe old age of 17 when I went to work at a lead mill, it was a union job, it paid good when we worked but it seemed we were on strike more than we worked, the union believed they should get a larger cut of the companies profits so we were forced to strike to demand new contracts. that shit got old pretty fucking fast but for the first time I had a little of my own cash to spend and could still cover the bills for the house.
I didnt get a chance to beg for $3 for McDonalds because that money wasnt there, I had no fucking expectation of a $50/wk allowance and certainly didnt feel entitled to some trust fund
I'm pretty sure I have a handle on shit, you're bitter because your daddy spent your trust fund, mine did as well but it wasnt really his to spend, his mother gave him money to stay away because she was terrified of him because he was pissed that everything wasnt given to him in his life. he had to beg for what he got when his parents insisted he work for it. after his father died his mother gave him money to get out and more to stay gone and it didnt take long for him and a lawyer to milk that estate dry
everything I have is shit that I worked for... do you think you can relate?
