My uncle has a huge ego. He is 60 and brags about living in a $2 million house and having a $5 million portfolio. He constantly makes my dad (his teacher brother) uncomfortable and says my dad should have studied engineering and been better with money. I make more than my dad. I'm on a career path (Private Equity) where Managing Director's in their 30s make his entire net worth annually and they don't show boat or brag about it because there are Partners that make more than them, and C suite executives making more than Partners and Hedge Fund managers making more than C suites. There is a hierarchy where no matter where you are there is always someone making more than you. My uncle doesn't live in that world he genuinely thinks have $5 million at 60 is noteworthy so I told him flat out if I only have $5 million at 60 i'll kill myself and told him 30 year olds make his whole life in a year. He kicked me out of his house and my mom told me to apologize.
