I get this once and a while

People ask me what it is like being a millionaire and under thirty. I get asked often enough that instead of answering them I will simply direct them to this post and have them read all about the hardships that I face instead of wanting money.
Many of my peers are idealists and promote tax cuts for the poor and tax on the wealthy. Do you know how awkward it is when I am listening to these conversations? It is at times like those that I wish I had not driven my classic red Mercedes Gullwing to the party or that my driver is sitting in the parking lot waiting to take me and whomever home. Or the time one kid at a party, an art major, brought up his love of Dadaism and how he wished it would receive more recognition from people nowadays. He mentioned Salvador Dali and how he loved his paintings and I said, "I like Max Ernst's dada period a little better." He exploded in such a rage and explained that he had studied art on the campus of a University with nice landscaping and wished I would be more well informed on such matters of fine art. I didn't want to make a fool of him but the Dali paintings that I do own, sit in the basement because they do not fit any of the decor in my house. How can you match his stuff to anything? I almost gave him the paintings but felt it would be a serious slap in the face.
It feels good to get that off my chest. There are people who understand my life. Basshunter made a video at one of my get-togethers off the coast of Turkey.

If you look real close you might see me as I am watching and laughing in the background. I mean the super soakers were so much fun!
Alright enough of me complaining. I just wanted to let you know that even though I am young, successful and good looking, life isn't that easy. I spend a ton of time not replying to invitations to parties, eating dinners with "the big guys," and losing money in the market that most people will never even earn. It is that money that fuels American's lust for bigger homes and cars. I mean, make money first, then spend it. That is what I do.
