Do You Ever Envy Rich People?

I have watched and seen the rich get richer and poor get poorer. Sometimes I wonder,why wasn't I born to travel the world and have closet full of clothes as big as house? Why isn't the wealth spread out a little? Like when lottery amount's are 200 million and only one person wins it. Wouldn't it be nice to give 200 people 1 million dollars each? To share a little.

I think I wonder why I struggle sometimes, but I don't necessarily envy rich folks. They have an entirely different lifestyle then I am used to, and I think that as much as I joke about winning the lottery, if I suddenly was propelled into that sort of lifestyle, it would be just as hard for me as if a rich person was suddenly extremely poor. Adaptation and all that. I agree it would be nice if we could share the wealth, but unfortunately we are all about being scrooge and stingy. Frankly I've been to some peoples houses, the types that have the built in movie theatre and all that, and while I enjoyed being there, I don't think I would want to live there or live that lifestyle. With all that money comes a great responsibility.

I'm not jealous but sometimes it would nice have a little extra. Instead of being poor all the time.
