Doing whatever you want because nobody needs you, and even if you died today everybody around you would live their lives as usual. People always seem to want to be important to others and have them care about you, but it sucks.
The best way to get rich would be to win the lottery and tell absolutely nobody, continue to act poor, and secretly help people around you without them ever knowing where it came from.
Here's one: Getting a nice raise. That used to be an enormous thrill and feeling of validation.
There are a lot of things that you think you want until you can afford them, then they lose their attraction.
It's like candy. When you were a kid it was big thing to get a candy bar. You schemed and begged your parents to buy you candy. Then you get a job and can go into a store and buy yourself a whole bag of candy bars. But you don't.
Of course by then you have discovered beer but that is another story.
We would get one big orange in the toe of our christmas stocking. Yeah I know an orange is pretty lame, but we would talk about it like it was something special, and look forward to it, and I guess make more of a treat of it than it really was.
(every one of those oranges has 'sunkist' stamped on it, my brother convinced me that they grew that way down in Florida)
Those top rated comments are as malign and insular as the Great Expectations character, Miss Havisham. At least she saw the error of her ways in the end. Apt to be future living proofs of Fen's Law, the commenters probably cannot divorce themselves from a personal underdog myth whose disillusion would invite the dreaded responsibilities of adulthood.

Eating breakfast at McDonald's instead of muffins and designer coffee at Whole Foods.

I had the #1 meal at Micky Dees today.
Don't tell Spinelli. He will lose all respect for you.

Yeah those were the days. When the only fruits that were around were oranges and apples and banana's.
Best of all they didn't want to get married.
Life was a lot simpler then.

"What kind of fun "poor" experiences do you believe the wealthy are missing out on?"
Probably missing out on all the fun of whining about the "poor" experiences the wealthy are missing out on.
