Yea, but you know it is common to hear people make comparisons to the likes of Bill Gates or other mega millionares. It really is not an accurate comparison to reference someone at that extreme. I am certainly in the upper middle. But I have worked my ass off to get here. And I have taken some pretty significant risks to make it happen over a lifetime.

Hard work gets you more. But it does not make the next dollar come any easier. And then you have the example of young people comparing themselves to what you may have in material goods or your bank account and they want that NOW. They don't think it is fair since you have so much more than them. You should share it. But they don't want to do the work or make the sacrifice to get to the same spot. There is always an excuse as to why they can't get to the same level of prosperity. But they know that you have more and therefore you can "afford" to help take care of their needs. That ain't happening.
