Is it normal to feel angry towards rich people?
I've been dirt poor my entire life. My dad died homeless, and I've been on the brink of homelessness ever since I graduated high school eight years ago. I have almost nothing. If anything bad happens to me, there's no safety net.
Luckily, I have made friends with some VERY wealthy people. They simply have no idea how luxurious their life is. They spend hundred dollar bills on clothes, buy expensive food from expensive restaurants. This in itself isn't bad, but they haven't had to work for shit. They get money from their parents just for existing. I've seen it happen. Vacations to Costa Rica and Europe, cruises that go around the world.
After having conversations about money with them, it seems that they can't grasp the value of it. I once asked one of them to spot me 5 bucks for a hamburger. He couldn't understand that I had no money. He kept saying "just go to an ATM and get some out of your account." He didn't understand that I had NO MONEY. Zero.
Is it bad that I feel a burning envy towards them? They're great people, and I love them like family, but my God.
Life isn't fair, get used to it. There will always be people better off than you. At the same time, you are better off than at least 90% of the world considering you are able to post here on the internet. Once you internalize that nobody is entitled to anything in life, you will be in a better position to improve your life position.

Why are you begging? nothing good will come out of it. Why are you willing to spend $5 on a fucking hamburger? If you are as poor as you say you are, you shouldn't be eating out at all. Socialize, sure, but you should only be eating really cheap, clean, nutritious foods (eggs, bananas, lentils, etc... use google).
Work on improving the value of your labor by learning new things in your spare time and applying to higher paying jobs. You should also focus on reducing your costs.

why have you been on the brink of homelessness and why do you have almost nothing? are you employed? how much are you making? how much are you spending on rent a month? which city/state do you live in? what kind of food bills do you have?

Man, I wish my parents told me this when I was a kid.
I only have a hs diploma and $3.6k saved up right now, but it never seems good enough.
I wish I knew that life's literally all about money and time (when I was a kid or at least a teenager).
