Are wealthy kids horrible?

[Woofwoof97]

When I was little my parents were wealthy individuals. They had properties and owned a daycare corporation. In short, me and my sister were spoiled. Right now I'm 25 and actually working a job. It's hard, we're broke but I feel like if we would've stayed as wealthy as we were I definitely wouldn't have a job. I'd probably get a large inheritance and travel but I definitely wouldn't work.

A part of me is happy that I'm currently poor because I feel like without it I'd be a spoiled entitled brat who believes I deserve the best of everything. I've seen rich kids turn out entitled and selfish or completely helpless once they grew into adults. But also I'm kinda against this because what if we stayed wealthy and I went to better schools, got real help for my learning disabilities and actually had a healthy self esteem? Maybe I'm secretly praising my poverty because I feel like I don't deserve wealth or I can't imagine myself escaping so I try to pretend it's actually great? I don't know... What do you guys think?

Yes, they typically are

No, they aren't

I do not think they are inherently horrible. There is a saying that goes the rich are different than the rest of us. I have a cousin who is my age. His parents were rich and he has a trust fund. We were close growing up and still are. He never really had a job growing up and always went on nice vacations. His grandmother took him and his sister on a tour or Europe one summer. He sent me postcards from Paris, London and Venice. He got to go to a nice college and live on campus. He never had to sweat paying for tuition. I did not go to college right out of high school. Instead I had a job and hitchhiked into the city every day. I learned how to do a lot of different things. I can fix most everything and all my trials I had during that crazy year made me grow up sooner than I should have.
My cousin cannot fix a lawnmower or figure out how to make a meal out of leftovers.
It was tough while ot was going on but I am glad I hd the experiences I had.,.

I think it depends on the person. I'm happy with the way I grew up. I was middle class. I think there are some rich people who don't lose touch with reality and others do. In Switzerland there's a lot of rich people who don't stand out much, pay a lot of taxes and donate to things in their city, which is nice.

I'm a teacher and I've had multi-millionaire trust fund teens in class and a large majority of them you wouldn't know it. Totally normal well adjusted. Still friends with a few and even in their late 20s or early 30s they're still normal. Privileged? For sure! But unremarkable lives.

In my experience, no.

That said, some rich kids are absolute twats until someone makes them realize that money means nothing.
