Yeah, sometimes it's kind of sad, but roughly half of my friends, even though they come from relatively wealthly (or in some cases, from very wealthy families), have their lives goind down the gutter because they're irresponsible. Also, in Switzerland (at least if you spent your life in an international school like I did), it's not difficult at all to end up having a fair amount of rich friends.
In general, my friends back in school were slightly younger then me (I tend to hang out with the younger crowd). Although I've been working for several years now, many of these people are only now at an age where they should be thinking very carefully at the kind of life they want to live. Instead, some of them have dropped from university/college and chose to take up booze, weed, or worse... and those who's daddies gave them cars, promptly crashed their 200,000chf beauties with little remorse, bragging about their next car they will get in order to replace the trashed one.
It's just a shame to think everything is there on a golden plate, you respect the life you've been given (and the chance) all that little bit less as each day goes by. I don't think most of these people will be as succesful as their parents were, they just won't have the smart business sense...
Good thing this is not the case with everyone. Just had a drink last thursday with an old friend of mine who in turn is taking over his dads work (he has just a week left of university, and then he's "free" so as to speak). Hid dad has two Ferrari's, plus another 8 cars (Audi's and stuff). But this guy too is extremely modest about it all, and I'm really proud of him for pursuing his dad's business.
Ah well... that's mankind for you and me, some know how to appreciate it, others don't *shrug*
