      I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn’t know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.

    Look, if I were in a privileged position in life, you can bet I’d also do whatever I could to make the same true for my daughters. 100%. I care for them and want them to be prosperous, and if they have kids I’d like them to be in a good position too.

    But what really fucks me off is when these people who’ve benefitted from that then go on to act like they’re self-made and didn’t get the help.

    Just own it. Say “yeah, my family runs a businesses, and because of that I’m in this good position. I’m really thankful of my parents for doing that for me, I’ve been really fortunate, and I work hard every day in order to show my appreciation for the opportunities that have been made available to me.”

    I’d respect the hell out of that, even though there’s still the degree of nepotism there.
