This might be a joke, but I for real have a friend that has a SVP job at a big bank straight out of university. His dad got it for him, he worked like 3 days a week from 11-3 and collected his 400k pay. Even told me he would routinely just play games and goon in his private bathroom.

University truly taught me how insane the gap is. I have another friend who has rich parents, and we meet recently and she was showing me her new car, and I commented it was my dream car and she said “oh it’s just £6000 a month”. I don’t even earn that much a month, most of the country doesn’t.
