Maybe I read this wrong but dont dwell on what others have. You make your own opportunities. If your not where you want to be change course, your in control.
If I read it wrong no offense.

Get out of here.
Ever think maybe it is personal? Maybe it is something that still burns at them? Maybe losing that person that left them whatever is still an open hole?
No one needs to justify anything to anyone. If anything at all maybe some people should keep their nose in their own life. The more the more you worry about others the less you focus on you.

And sometimes you do need to justify yourself, but not always. I see a lot of people collecting government handouts while at the same time doing cash work, not all legal, and flaunting money. The day my taxes stop supporting that is the day I don't care about it. Until then, the tens of thousands of dollars out of my pocket are plenty of motivation to be a nosey a$$hole.
Sounds like a miserable way to live. I prefer to worry about me and could care less about what others do or how they have it.

I don't care where the money comes from myself. I just want to find a friend with a 50' Mystic with 1650's and a lot of rough open water.

I actually look at things different.
I live in a summer resort area. We have 2 extremely busy months and about 8 steady moinths - for most workers.
Making a decent living here is tough.
Most 'full timers' in the area don't boat nor ski/snowboard/snowmobile/etc.
I feel lucky to be able to enjoy our wonderful natural surroundings which is what attracts so many out of staters here.
Imagine living in such an area, and not being able to enjoy it ?

In response to the original post. Everyone's opinion of wealth is subjective. A guy with a 1970 9.9 powered 10ft. Jon boat probably thinks that the guy with a newer bass boat is loaded. The guy in the newer bass boat probably thinks the guy in the 80's Scarab is a rich drug dealer because he saw it once on Miami Vice years ago. The guy in the 80's Scarab thinks that the guy docked next to him in the twin step gun is a millionaire. The guy in the twin step looks at the guy in the 80' Baia and says "DAYUM!" The guy in the 80' Baia gets pissed because he doesn't own diamond mines and the dude with the Lurssen got the last spot available for the new years eve party. Long story short, if you're boating and enjoying life then be thankful for what you have instead of assuming how everyone else lives.

Gee and all I hear is kids don't do nothing but play video games. The reason young people have stuff is because they are the generation of the computer. They grew up with it , most high paying jobs Theese days are computer related. Revenge of the nerds is here. Run lol. I can't even upload a pic without my 12 year old slaps it on. Little chit types 100 words a minute. Yikes I'm more Braun than brains. Lol
