What I'm getting at is at the end of the day everybody has the same expenses. Food, roof over head, daily essentials, transportation costs etc.
Whether you make $300 / hour or $10 / hour you still have to pay what you need to pay to survive. It's just that the the dude making $300/hour is living better and with status.

Also, money not be the sole motivation of why people want to "be rich". Wealthy people have a different mindset, they give more to charity than you and I make in a year.
Some of them want to genuinely help people. Without the owner of companies who spent their blood, sweat, tears and money to risk a business to employ us and drive taxes to the government you and I wouldn't have a job.
We get jealous when we see somebody with a nice car or nice house, but we'll never know what they went through to attain it.
Everybody goes through hardship, some people just handle it better than others. Learn from mistakes, instead of rolling over and justifying self pity.
Personally my drive for money is so I can give back and take care of my parents, future wife so she won't have to work and put on makeup for a boss, then come home and wear sweats in front of me. And money leftover for my kids and grandkids to go through college or whatever they aspire to attain.
