"Just take this dogshit job as a temporary measure until you get something better"
“You need to spend money to make money”
I think the issue is that these wealthy people come from wealthy families, but they've grown their wealth exponentially on the backs of others, so in perspective they were "poorer" before, so they think they understand what having "less" means. In reality, they'll never understand.
That is an interesting perspective on it. Someone with a net worth of 50 mil would be able to do so much more than someone with a net worth of 2 mil, so they might see that as "relatively" poor, and think they understand what it is like when they've never actually been anywhere close to even an average person's level, let alone someone poor and struggling.
