Every "independently" wealthy person under 35 on the Internet.

Step 1, have lavishly rich parents

Step 2, use parents money and business networks to make money

Step 3, brag about being humble while also flaunting your wealth.

    I don't think it's restricted to under 35 and on the internet. I know a 40 something year old that says shit like "my wife and I are so independent and good with our money, we don't get any handouts. The only gift we get is that her parents pay off our credit cards every Christmas" unironically.

    Rich people are so fucking out of touch.

    Lol, fair enough. It's basically impossible nowadays to be comfortable without a little help, even if it's just systemic in nature.

    I'm in my mid-late 30s and doing really well compared to most of the people in my age bracket mostly out of dumb luck and because my dad was in the military.

    During the last housing market scare I was able to buy a run down abandoned house for 35k after qualifying for a loan through USAA that I really shouldn't have ever been approved for. Just stupid little things like that can really make a huge difference in the long run.
