Born with a silver spoon

I was born with a silver spoon, as the saying goes, but I still cannot find happiness in my life. I am sure some people out there would think that how lucky is to be born with wealthy parents, who could provide all the money in the world to enjoy all the nice things in life. Is it really that bad or a curse to be born poor?

Maybe you just need to find your calling. Money provides security which plays into most people's idea of happiness, but it doesn't provide happiness itself. You have the opportunities provided to you if you're wealthy, you can go to a good school, study something you love, discover what you're good at, and you don't have to fret that you're squandering money like most people who have student loans do.
