I've experienced both extremes of fiscal class: inherited wealth and opportunity as well as prison and homelessness. It's a double edged sword, a great curse and advantage concurrently.
Everyone I know owns a business, or is a landlord

Pro: I never get seasick, no matter how rough it gets. Con: Terrified of heights and flying.
My mom is absolutely terrified of heights, to the point where she can't stand on a chair without someone holding it. On tables isn't happening. Ever.
But she's perfectly fine with flying, and does so at least a couple of times per year. I even offered to take her flying in a very small aircraft a while back, and she had no problem with the idea.
I literally have nothing, bruh. Reading this thread reminded me that I am trulu the inferior being.
Nah impossible, at the very least you have either eyes or ears that works to be able to view this thread. Thats an advantage that some might lack
I'm white, my family is middle-ish class, I don't pay rent.
I do not fall into many of the same traps most other people do.
Any interesting example that someone close to you did fall to one of those trap?
Other than randomly being born in a western democracy ranking high on living standard, happiness etc.
I was a good boy and put in the effort in school. I get paid accordingly and have a relatively stress free job.
I was lucky to have money to invest at the right time when the markets crashed in 2008 and 2020, when stocks could be had at a 90% discount. As a result I was able to pay off my student loans and put a down payment on my residence with the profits, just by being willing to wait a few years for the market to recover.
