How far ahead are kids with 180 rich parents?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 28th, 2018 5:05 PM Author: Fear-inspiring Comical University Patrolman Just how far ahead are those kids? Say the kid's IQ is 90 and he's kinda lazy, but tries.
How far ahead is he from an Asian with a 150 IQ and lousy, poor as fuck parents? |

i would say it's mostly because IF you have rich parents they have more resources available to insulate the kid from adversity that would make them resilient to the vagaries of existence. it's more a possibility than a general rule, but if it's as OP has it. that kid could have a tough road to hoe no matter the resources available to them. |

Date: April 28th, 2018 5:09 PM Author: copper exhilarant mother 90 IQ is pretty extreme, as is 150 IQ. The real question is how much a 110-130 IQ person ends up ahead of comparable peeps from crappy families. That's where there's probably the most bang for your buck from coming from a rich family.

Where you start in life I would say is actually the primary factor in where you will end up. For those who start with next to nothing and get to UMC or higher, they always have very unusual talent or intelligence. But parental/family wealth confers so many immediate advantages right from the beginning of life its importance can’t be overstated.

as someone said, family wealth just gives you economic security. It is very comforting to know that if shit hits the fan and I'm unemployed for 20 years, I won't starve to death. but it can't bring happiness, because you're either born a chad or you're born as a gay and autistic XO poa. |

Date: April 28th, 2018 5:24 PM Author: Trip Mediation who the fuck cares about wealth/property or "lavish" lifestyles. if you're not in poverty, which almost no one in XO sans Benzo is in, what makes people happy is meaningful connections, community, affection from other humans, purpose in life.
Those are things that ONLY chads and otherwise biologically "elect" individuals get to enjoy. FACT. no matter how much money you acquire, whether through inheritance or hard work, you will never be HAPPY |

and a lot of finances are very easy if you have two incomes, evne if they're both low-income. two artists making $30k a year can live comfortably in most of America. however, it's that only CHADS and other biologically electmos can find quality people to combine incomes with |

unless youre legit 150+ IQ, its far better to be attractive and wealthy than it is to be smart. If anything, being in the 130 IQ range could be a detriment if youre ugly and poor. at that point youre smart enough to realize how fucked you are and it lends itself to negative, disordered thinking

Doctor? How much easier is it to slave away without real income for 15 years when daddy is subsidizing your life?

Business? "Hey Bill, why don't you hire my boy here as an analyst? He just graduated from George Washington with a degree in business administration. I think he'd be a fine addition to your team!"
Entrepreneurship? Think how many years you'd have to work at a normal job to save up $50,000, and then how much guts it would take to spend it on fucking permitting, insurance and leasing to start a business. Now think of doing it with your Dad's "loan." |

|
Date: April 28th, 2018 6:20 PM Author: copper exhilarant mother There are, and that first leap to in-house is the biggest one because in-house strongly prefers in-house experience to biglaw. So the reason you take a less than ideal first in-house job is so you can transition that to a better one later.
FYI - I'm interviewing people for an in-house position now and we're basically not even considering straight from biglaw people. That said, I did hire one such person a while back. Mind you, the guy had a STEM degree with latin honors which is what we really wanted.
Long story short, I guess I see the poster's point that you might take a $120k shit in-house job or an Amazon.com biglaw style job, but even if you do you'll trade that for something better pretty quickly if you don't suck. |

Date: April 28th, 2018 5:49 PM Author: Pale church mad-dog skullcap probably impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions from everyone’s random anecdotes itt. question is also crazy broad - “iq” or what people perceive as innate ability is actually partly a function of your environment and resources growing up.
and anyway income isn’t the sole factor to consider in terms of a kids advantages growing up - the son of a couple university of chicago economists or whatever is probably 10000x better off than a richer kid raised by a family of retarded house flippers in florida.
i’d guess that having a wealthy background maybe gives you certain advantages growing up and limits your worst possible outcome. but the highest paying professions are still meritocracies and, in my experience, the BIGGEST winners of the game (e.g., megafund portfolio managers) tend to be the smartest/most effective rather than the richest. this is obviously a hard conclusion to accept for less wealthy people that haven’t been that successful.
the benefits of family wealth probably diminish rapidly (maybe become counterproductive) in terms of helping you really, really win the game. but it’s obviously helpful if you want to be a retarded artist in williamsburg and not starve |

Date: April 28th, 2018 5:56 PM Author: deep deer antler set I think the question is even if you’re great on every metric of intelligence, work ethic, etc it will be harder to go from poor to umc/rich than to backslide from umc/rich to poor. If your parents are rich you’re almosr guaranteed to be rich. It’s a question of social mobility and how advantageous it is to be born on third base. You can basically be a total fuck up and still you’ll remain wealthy. A fuck up who’s also poor has zero chance and a smart kid who’s poor, assuming everything else goes right, has somewhat better of a chance but it’s not guaranteed, and they may still not even do as “well” as rich fuck up. Of course the best of the best as you say blend all the characteristics of good upbringing/background + hardworking and gifted.

and generally i’d say a bunch of factors beyond family wealth play into social mobility. but if you’re just saying “it’s easier for a rich kid to stay rich than a poor kid to become rich” that obviously goes without saying lol |

-words parents speak to you mattering -alberich playing at being rich with 15mm family owning a chinese restaurant -not realizing the level of regression to the mean of wealthy children -comparing yourself to ultra rich hereditary wealth types, yeah you have less money -not realizing most of success is a combo of genes and pure luck, if a rich kid is dumb he will not be successful, not being born rich will not stop you from being a success -no mention of saving money for YOUR kids, just butthurt proles complaining no money from THEIR parents, you just don't get it, do you, your faggot kids will be poor just like you because everyone in your family going back a 1000 years was a selfish balding beady eyed live only for today type like yourself -gatormo, checkmate. |

Most of you don't know shit about how to truly succeed and you sure as fuck don't know about true happiness. It's a shame, but it's not your fault. Growing up in SPS suburbia did this to most of you. It is sad as fuck the extent this country has succumbed to the cancer that is the suburbia mindset.
