Ask HN: How do you digest fact that you are not successful by 40

Curious to see what others think. There is west village in nyc or rich neighborhoods in SF, LA where people live and spend as if they are from another planet. Houses, vacation homes, yearly trips, spa, jetski, ski trips and more.

Then, there are some people who barely get by or get by with barely anything left after rent, healthcare, and household expenses.

America has entered this era of distribution of wealth that is really sad. I don’t subscribe to socialism or communism but it’s hard to see that some people are just never going to make it.

As someone who graduated in 2007 and financial crisis struck, it’s been disaster after disaster. I know some lucky people made it in tech and now have $2m or more at their name. But, there are people like me who don’t have much to show for. Just a sad reality.
