> That inequality is not going down, only upwards.

This was talked about 15+ years ago when I was a young student. I saw the writing on the wall and made it a priority to live below my means and aggressively invest.

Unfortunately, many of my friends think I am crazy for not "enjoying life" more... We shall see what happens I guess.

then, in 30-40 yrs time, those same friends all want gov't bailouts for their pensions, and higher taxation of people like yourself, to fund it (because, you know, you're rich enough to be able to spare it of course!).
