Don't look at it that way.
People who look like they have it made as kids/young adults often grow unhappy when they have to maintain the lifestyle they became accustomed to having provided by Daddy.
I didn't have a lot growing up, but once I was on my own, it took a lot less "things" for me to be happy.
Plus, I didn't worry about losing my possessions, like so many people do. I knew I could get along with very little.
If you don't have much now, at age 21, there's still an excellent chance you'll be happy once school is a few years into the rear-view mirror. Even if you're not swapping stock tips with Bill Gates.
