Re: Do you consider yourself the successful one amongst your friends

In terms of educational attainment, objectively yes. Financially... it depends. I have more personal assets, but several of my friends stand to inherit millions when their parents kick off and I stand to inherit absolutely fuck all. So unless I accrue millions of dollars in my lifetime, they'll win in the long run even if they're poorer than me right now -_- My parents were working class but because of districting I lucked into a solidly middle class school and because of my grades/aptitude scores was able to enter an "enrichment" program dominated by upper middle class children. Going to visit their million-dollar homes after living in my own rented basement suite was... eye-opening. Which is to say the vast majority of my friends are from an entirely different social class. I was the only one who didn't have college paid for and had to get scholarships, otoh I think that's part of what made me work harder and acquire said degrees.

I wouldn't take it for granted that they'll win in the long run. People who come into a lot of money they didn't work for often find they have a hard time holding onto it. Some of your rich friends may wind up being poorer than you before the end.
