god i feel poor.
*edit* Skipping details
I just recently found out that a female friend of mine is a completely self made multimillionaire and is already retired at the age of 24. I had no idea that she was deep into the millions and thought she was just doing well for herself from her previous job position. When I say multimillionaire, I mean her home alone cost ~7 million.
I was pretty shocked to find out considering she hangs out with me and my friends who are relatively poor compared to her lol. She dresses normal, acts normal and drives just an economy cuv. I guess when you're that rich you wanna just hang out with people who like you for you and not your net worth.
Sometimes you think you're doing well for yourself and then someone comes along and makes you feel poor as ***** lol.
Oh well.
and no, I will not try to go after her considering I didn't before I found out that she was loaded. Plus, too many ridiculously successful people are going after her anyways.

True enough! However, I'm also reminded by things I see everyday that life could also be a lot worse...

I mean, I know I could be a lot worse off (considering the amount of times i've been to 3rd world countries) and I know I could be much better off, but to be friends with someone that was retired by 22 is kinda of mind blowing lol. You only hear of these people but not befriend them hah.

Most self made millionaires dress plainly and drive econ boxes. look at Warren Buffet he drives a mid 80 Pickup. most don't even live in lavish homes... unlike us poor saps who will put every last dime into a car that always seems to need "that little something extra" 
they put their money in savings and investments.

a smart teacher once said there are only 2 ways to get RICH.
hit the lotto or marry rich.
ANYWAY, you have to tell us how she made the millions.
IM gonna be 23 and am recently unemployed and still owe a little on my c32. Imagine how i feel.

Regardless of what it is; money, education, status, etc..., there will always be someone with more and someone with less than you. Serenity comes not from what you have, but knowing what you can live without.

I hope all you young guys who have these wonderful toys understand that in life wealth is about relationships with real people and not about material possesions. The right partner beside you will last a lifetime when treated with love, care and respect. Hmm, same can be said of an MB when treated with L, C and R. Go figure.

It's one of those things when you can wow at someone for being successful. Then there are other times when you can look at your Mercedes, and see someone who is barely making due living below poverty level. Both realizations bring you "back down to earth" and your own satisfaction should come from what your own life goals are.
Do I want to try to be as rich as she is one day? Sure. But for now, good for her. Same goes with Lady Gaga for example, my gf commented to me the other day that she's only 22 or something and has already done so much and gone all over the world. It's interesting to the see the different lives that people lead....

Talk about having to work your way up from the negative.
The good thing is that I don't feel poor, I just lack a lot of things that I want or could use.
