I'm in the top 5%

Of wealth in the US and my household makes over 200k a year. Not to mention that I live in one of the most expensive areas in the country. How does it feel being poorer than me?

    The fact that you think this is a thing that is going to make you cool or something, makes me feel nothing but embarrassed for you. Regardless of my financial situation my parents have taught me the core values of working earning, and not being a dickburger. I'm working my ass off to pay off my college education, which I owe to them, for footing the bill. As that makes sense, my parents' money is here to support and nurture me, it's not my asset, and it's certainly not something for me tout over other people #youreauselessjerk #iwouldknow-the area I'm from is of a higher income percentage bracket than 5% and the majority of the people I know, even from dirty money, certainly wouldn't try to use their wealth situation to put down other people. And it's most definitely not some 5% bracket of "we just found a lot of wealth" douchebags, it's most likely your parents worked incredibly hard to earn their 200k income. The situation is different in the higher percentile situations as a lot of the wealth is old wealth and it comes from deep pocketed relatives, even those people aren't as entitled as you. Most of these people I know, from this lower income tier have very good worth ethic, as their parents impress upon them how important it is to work in order to continue their lifestyle. [b]Let's face it, after retirement and if you have siblings, 200k a year, doesn't amount to a rolling in it trust fund child inheritance, just a possible wake up call. If you don't actually learn to work and not be a shitbag, you're probably going to end up a "poor boy" spending the last of your parents inheritance at 45 and not able to make ends meat after that because you're too much of a schmuck.[/b]
