Answer 1

I did not grow up wealthy at all, but I grew up in a community where most of my friends were VERY well off.

Kids are pretty tolerant when they are young, but as they age, they tend to compare everything. And that is exactly what I did.

The size of your friend’s house (I grew up in a trailer), the cars in your friend’s garage, and even the clothes they wear. You quickly notice that they have many things that you don’t - and can’t have.

I became extremely jealous of all the things they had and all of the things that I didn't. And I don’t mean just physical things. I’m talking the whole package.

Because when you’re rich it’s not just the luxuries that you can afford… it’s also the piece of mind that ‘things are going to be ok.’ Meaning, you’re going to be able to put food on the table and that your future financial security is safe.

Now, I said I was jealous. That’s actually not the right word. Yes, I was envious of of what others had, but I wasn’t mad or angry about it. Instead, I was extremely motivated to make a life where I could have financial success.

Not having that wealth growing up has made me all the more motivated to create it.

Now here is the important part:

The majority of my rich friends who I grew up with are NOT very successful today.

Yes, they still have money from their family, but as individuals most of them haven’t accomplished anything noteworthy, let alone profitable.

That’s because they grew up in a very comfortable situation. They didn’t have that nagging desire to improve their lifestyle because, well, there wasn’t much to improve.

And what’s even more important is that many (not all) have grown up to become pretty big failures.

Now, that’s a strong word, but it’s true. I know many of the wealthy kids I grew up with who are still living at home, have been in and out of drug rehab multiple times, and have never had a consistent job.

They are still children. They never had to grow up. They have been coddled their entire life and everyone caters to their needs. They are too comfortable.
