No matter how hard you try to get ahead, there are always others who are willing to take advantage of you. They will take everything that you have worked hard for and use it for their own benefit. It’s not uncommon to find people who are jealous of other people’s success, especially when they have nothing else to show for their success besides money.

People who say this quote seem to think that being rich makes life easier because they have so many opportunities to have fun, enjoy life, and do what they want with their lives.
