Vaillant found that those who had a strong work ethic in their teenage years ended up doing very well for themselves later on in life and had very warm relations with their partners and community members.
On the flip side, those who had the poorest ratings in their capacity to work when they were 14 were far more likely to be unemployed, to have bad relationships, and to have shorter life spans. Intelligence did little to mitigate this.

I’m pretty sure that we’ve all (no matter our class or background) had run-ins with extremely spoiled kids before. Without revealing too many details, I can tell you that some of the worst cases that I’ve personally witnessed included a person who kept moving to a new country with all of their things every few months while proclaiming that they finally found themselves each and every time. Only to realize that no, they didn’t, and move again.
Some other similar cases of seeing spoiled rich kids in my life include them buying food and drinks for everyone so they like them, ordering cabs instead of walking a couple of blocks, as well as complaining about not getting enough presents in the most Dudley Dursley-ish fashion I’ve ever seen.

Though redditor Martinkarolev’s thread was posted 2 years ago, the topic is still as relevant now as it was back then. I’d argue even more so because the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted just how different life can be when you’re rich and how double standards still apply to the wealthy and the influential. The thread got over 66.9k upvotes and really got people talking, with over 23.6k comments. It looks like when the topic’s all about money, almost everyone has something to say.
