How much better is life for "rich" kids?

Why is that so? If you are a Christian, poorer people live a far more communitarian life, in keeping with Christian morality about sharing and the family, than everyone else.

I'm mostly talking about the underclass. I don't really consider anybody above that to be poor.

I consider myself to be a 'rich' kid, and to be honest we are not much better off. Most our parents believe that we should work and earn our way in lives just like they had to, they don't want us to scrounge of their money, but rather make our own fortunes

I'm the underclass in many ways now.

If my parents kicked me out and refused to help me, BOOM! Full on benefit lifestyle/homelessness here I come.

You benefit greatly in a non pecuniary way. My parents are upper middle class and never gave me money, but they did read to me, buy me educational stuff, live in a good school catchment area, well fed, few home tensions, blah blah

Do not kid yourself that you have done it all yourself just because you didn't get an allowance

You are so immoral, haven't you heard it's a crime to be poor? I bet you also support the IRA and ISIS

I was sent to a public school in a rough area, I was adopted at 3 years old, my parents taught me to earn my own way, and many lower/ middle class kids get exactly the same.

I have had a job since 15 and have a far more experience of life than most people.

Don't go making moronic assumptions about my life if you don't know me, I am basing that of my personal experience, and in regard to the 'kid' comment, I am an adult, get real!

Well if you lived in a "rough area" particularly I struggle to understand how you can call yourself a "rich kid"

I too have worked since I was 15 although intermittently, the other luxury being able to pick and choose. Most poor kids have to contribute to the household, poverty is cash flow most of the time.

"Kid" was a verb there...

I dunno I'm
Not rich

My parents were rich,both doctors. I want to follow in their footsteps

Oh nice. Which med skl

Everyone is getting richer. That's Tory Britain for you. Just because the rich may be getting richer at a faster rate doesn't mean things are ****e for the 'poor',

People often like to say "but money doesn't buy you happiness!" which, in my opinion, is wrong. I'm from a rich family, and i have friends who are poor, receive benefits etc. and I found that my parents having money did make me happier. My family lives in a big house, with plenty of room (I had my own room growing up, never had to share). If I asked for something at Christmas or Birthday, I'd usually get it. And I'd say I was a happier kid because of it.

HOWEVER, now that I'm living away from home at uni, I've noticed how unprepared I am for life. I'm used to having everything handed to me on a silver platter, so moving away and having to go shopping for myself, and actually spend my own money, was a huge shock to the system. Also, I look at my older sister who is still living at home (age 23). She hasn't spent more than a fortnight away from home, she only pays a small amount of rent to live in a nice house, she doesn't have to boy food, wash her clothes or anything.

So basically, money buys happiness, but also laziness.

Are we talking rich kids of instagram rich or just well off?
