Why do people get mad at you if your parents had money when you were growing up?

Bc your parents stole money from mine! Communists!

How do they know?

Some people get weird around the subject of money, in lots of different ways.

maybe it's you wrote:

Critical question and the answer could explain much.

Follow up question might be, "what makes you think they are mad about your parents having money".

When your rents make 300,000 a year and pay for half (100,000) of your graduate school expenses you are very fortunate.

If you show off flashy watches and the mercedes C class that daddy bought you while living in a penthouse and being a jerk--people start to hate you.

Oh, and when daddy sent you to an uppity 23,000 a year HS boarding school in addition to the above.

My parents had money, but I never experienced this. If anyone was mad at me for this I never knew it.

Envy

I was envious of my friends who had money while growing up

But as I grew, I realized it is not the child who makes the choice. You are born into what you are born into. And, after all, most people who are within a family with a good deal of money revolve their life around...money.

I went to my 25 year high school reunion and found the kids who were rich are mostly now still within a close proximity to mommy and daddy so they can still get their share of their un earned money. Many also have cheated on their spouses numerous times and/or are divorced due to that

I put myself through school, while most of them couldn't tell you where the student loan office was located. In the end, I became more educated, and am now successful, and with the same woman who I never cheated on and never will cheat.

I have enough to join a country club but I never ever will.

I caddied for some when I was young and they all cheat in golf and brag about cheating on the wives.

I had a roommate in college who dad was a doctor and who came from money. I came from poor working class roots. He made a comment to me which I thought was funny but might have had a bit of truth to it.

He said I was lucky. He said that what he could do would probably never measure up to his parents. That he'd probably bring the family standards down. But what ever I accomplished would be looked up to by my family.

I think it is the attitude some people with money have when growing up.

Growing up I cleaned bathrooms at a country club. Some guys my age made fun of me... but then I also ran into guys who I never knew came from money. I had a lot more respect for the latter.

This. Hell, I didn't even know that my parents had money until I was grown (apparently my grandparents left a good sum of money to my parents), so I'm not sure how anyone else would have known and hated me for it.

I never experienced this. My parents made a lot of money. I used to get comments all the time. Most people were just curious about what my parents did or what is was like having that stuff. If anyone was mad I never noticed.

As someone else suggested, a lot depends on how people know. Basically, if you're sort of a douche and flaunt the nice things you have and get to do that they don't, if you act like you've accomplished something for yourself by being born to money, if you don't seem to acknowledge that you lucked out, you're going to annoy folks.

They don't.

Sure, you can tell yourself, "they're all jealous!!" and most self absorbed, pretentious, cocky, spoiled rotten little rich kids do tell themselves that.

The deeper truth in the matter is, people aren't mad at you because your parents have money... people are mad at you because you're an Ahole.

This is the reality, dear rich kid. Most people could give a crap about how much money your folks have, or don't have, the #1 thing that (majority) people will judge you on is your character and actions.

If you are experiencing some kind of wide range blacklisting from your peers, then you most likely behave like an entitled little punk who thinks he is somehow better than other people because of the THINGS he has.... things that he happens to have by LUCK and the (potentially) hard work of his parents, as opposed to anything YOU have actually done to be so fortunate.

If you HAPPENED to be born wealthy, and yet walk around like you are something special.... well, that's why people can't stand you.

Jealousy.

Well it's jealousy/envy.

Having money means you are completely free of so many of the stresses that those of us that came from working class to poor back grounds don't have.

You can be a full time student. No need to work 30 hrs at some job while going to school just so you can afford clothes, rent, car, gas, etc..

You never ever had to worry about tuition. Did the cost of attendance ever into your thoughts when you were choosing your school? I know it did for me- big time.

Finally, having money affords you the best thing of all. The right to completely F*ck up with little to no consequence. Wreak a car, get a DUI, car breaks down, girl friend gets pregnant, you get sick and rack up medical bills.. these are all things that can cause me to potentially have to drop out of school. If you have money, they are taken care of with one phone call.

Poor people always move away from their families, never rely on their moms to watch kids, and infidelity is unheard of among all those who did not inherit money.

You sound like you have a lot of issues bud. Saying you can afford something but will never buy it is like saying I could have gone to Harvard but I liked the weather at Rutgers better.

Some rich kids are jerks, some poor kids are bank robbers. Most are neither. Painting with a broad brush makes you a jerk.

It implies that you haven't had many struggles in life. You've had it easy.

I fixed it for free for you. If you want send a $200 donation to charity of your parent's choice.
