The secret is that you have to have emerald mining money without emerald mining parents if you get me.
My dream is to raise my kids middle class and surprise them when they graduate college with 5-figure (or if we’re dreaming, maybe 6-figure) lump sums to set them up for life. All the generational wealth without the spoiled attitude.
If Elon musk had been in your position, he wouldn’t have dropped out. I mean that in a negative way towards him, because obviously dropping out makes sense if you’re a normal human in that situation (my sister did the same for the same reason, and it fucked her too).
But musk is egotistical and wouldn’t give a fuck about his mom’s cancer if it stood in his way
Yeah I powered through and stayed in college while taking care of my mom for the same condition and it was an intense level of difficult where I’m extremely grateful that I was able to not need to financially support myself or her. I can’t imagine someone able to do all three things well, and I wasn’t the only one caring for my mom, I was just the one most able to drive her to things like doctors appointments
I like to imagine what I could have done if my father owned an emerald mine and I could have afforded multiple prestigious universities
My Dad cooked meth in the early 2000s and I dropped out of community college at 17 because my Mom had brain cancer.
I always just look at people who don’t see the benefits of standing on the shoulders of others as entitled and childish.

If that’s your intent you should talk to an estate planner. They can help make sure your plan is on target.
College grads aren’t mature by any means.

I hope things are looking up for you after those hard times ❤️
That’s part of it though. He was born with insane privilege and no amount of premature balding humbled him.
You were born with hardship and learned humility and empathy. You would cringe at doing the sorts of things that make someone a billionaire.
Give the money back to your Apartheid victims. That’s the only correct answer.
