Just worry about yourself and your dreams and future.

Haha, it’s not like young kids can EVEN afford a BMW. It’s usually the parents paying for the car or it gets repossessed. I remember when I was in high school, guys in class would brag that they got a mustang car. They would drive it around to show off and they only kept it for 3 months. Till they couldn’t afford the monthly payments and it got towed.

Also if you’re still living with your parents and they don’t mind, then woohoo free rent and meals. I mean who am I to judge or anyone else here on this social app. Of how a stranger is living their life? What would I benefit and what would you gain?

Everyone has a shitty life in their own way. But it’s your path and road and how you choose to cross it.

Stop comparing yourself to other people. Seriously, don't do it.

"i’ve worked way before them"

After watching people over many years and decades, working at a young age is one of the best predictors for future success. It's a VERY strong predictor. Don't cherry pick by paying too much attention to a very small fraction of people. Keep working. Save your money starting at a young age. That's been proven as a path to success by millions of people. Don't worry about what others do. Focus on your own life.

tradesman careers like plumbers, heating/air, and electrician make great money. Parent contribution in the other kids life is probably what is happening with the fine cars there.
