Yes, but I at least do not have that problem. < rich people lived a much more decadent lifestyle in the past > Also, the opportunity for us to have had that problem is remote, even then. Of course, for your ancestors it may not have been so. For me, it would have been impossible considering the oppression of British Rule. No I would rather live now, a somewhat prosperous child of immigrants, than a servant to the wealthy of the last century. The opportunity is there for you and for me and for anyone else. We live by our wits and not by our birthright. Unlike the Venezualan dictator Chavez and the Saudi Crown Prince Abdallah inheritor and the general caste consciousness in general of many parts of the world, people in free markets make their own future. I prefer to make mine as I am certain you prefer to make yours. I do not owe my present to my past. That is so much more fun. We would never have had such an opportunity in days gone by. This is definitely a better time. J.P. Morgan would have given away his fabled art collection for a computer that could have shown him the world and all it's treasures.
