does it worry you?
are yoru parents successful and wealthy?
do you have high expectations or know you won't amount to much?

are you happy enough to inherit their wealth and not make much yourself and just be a 'good person'....

I hope that I'm better than my parents in many ways.

No, they have high expectations because they're not too successful, I mean my dads in the navy but neither of them went to college, and I have nothing to inherit.

No, I don't really measure my success against that of my parents. I guess it's because they've never really tried to get me to "follow in their footsteps" or anything like that when it comes to careers.

It worries me a lot. My parents are uberoverachievers. I love them but, I don't want to live off them any more than I have to and I'd hate to always be known as their son.

furthemore being born into a certain amount of wealth and lifestyle standards makes it that much harder if you can't match it out on your own and your parents aren't continuously spoon-feeding you

That doesn't worry me. What I am worried about is not living up to the level of my older siblings. My sister got a 30 on her ACT. My brother is a patroleum engingeer and makes about 115,000 a year and my other sister has a masters degree and some other stuff.

I want to be a singer. My mother has told me she wouldn't be proud of me if I do. So I pretty much already know I'm a failure

Yeah. Thinking that you have to match their level of income or be seen as a failure is another problem.

wealth is often a measuring stick of success though there are exceptions.
