Used to have someone that hung around with me until I pointed out the fact that I work 50+ hours a week for a living, not the 20 and under that he did, nor do I work for my parents, nor do my parents give me rent/mortgage money on top of a full time paycheck that he openly bitches isn't enough money...my parents don't pay my rent, nor do they have anything to do with my financial well being.
My problem with him was that he liked to brag about how well he was doing for himself, and how he was self made.
Let's not forget to mention how he asked me not to say anything to mutual friends about:
1- how mommy bought his house
2- how mommy bought his wife's engagement ring (that she "lost" when she found out he didn't pay 1 nickel for it)
3- and the only reason that mommy was able to do all these things is that she married well ( on the fifth gold mining expedition ) to a guy who was to dumb to have a prenuptial agreement signed and she runs new hubby's business like it's her own personal piggy bank.
Something given with out being earned has no value, and people who are given everything have no value - except to motivate me to be what they try to pretend to be.
So I called him a spoiled momma's boy, and he went and cried about it in his moms..."his" house

Meh, everyone's life circumstances are different, who cares if someone is born into wealth or not, it has no impact on your life.
Being from the middle I don't really understand any of this. Money just wasn't an issue either way. We weren't wanting and we didn't care if we drove a bmw or whatever. When I was 18 my parents gave me a used mercury tracer. Obviously better off than some kids but not much 
What I was jealous of were traits I saw in other kids parent's that weren't in mine. I'm not going to go into personal specifics, but I can vividly remember that feeling.

A guy I knew was given a grocery story in the Bronx by his dad when he was 18 -- not a huge one like a Pathmark but still a fuckin goldmine.
So a few years later this nigga's wearing a 20K Rolex driving BMW M cars and walking around with at least 8K in cash in his pocket... comes up to me and bitches that he can't find any chicks that are interested in him for who he is and not his money. See that kinda irritated me.

Ok a couple of thoughts...
1. You're fucking jealous. It's a totally normal human emotion, so don't feel too bad about it. Just realize that it's not going to do you any good. How about you spend the same amount of time analyzing what their parents did to make their money.
2. Just because they have money doesn't mean they have a happy, fulfilled life. Sure they might be spoiled etc, but that's only their parents way of making up for neglecting them for years. There's no time to play Polly Princess with your daughter when you're obsessed with working your ass off to earn millions of dollars. That hot little spoiled 17yr old slut with 5 shopping bags and a purse full of coke is only acting out and getting gangbanged by five guys in Italy because she hates daddy. It's a cliche because it's true.
3. "I'm helpless, like a rich man's child" - Bob Dylan
These people can never take care of themselves. You think they are going to run the family business after dad is dead? Hah! Most millionaires in America are self-made. Hopefully he left enough money to take care of them, because they are going to be fucking worthless to society. I have to wonder about how many spoiled rich kids that have a terrible life now after their parents lost a shitload in the economy crash. Personally I'd rather work for my shit, because then I'll appreciate it more.
(Yeah I know there are awesome, productive rich kids out there. I know a few. But I also know a lot more of the above. Hopefully this makes OP feel better
Wow well said.
Yes a kid may be spoiled and you may think they have it all, but they have to live an adult life of baggery with no real friends because people only see them for their money.

Don't tell me - you wished your parents were swingers?
Good lord some of you guys watch way to much TV.
Fact - There are spoonies at all levels of the wealth curve. People with cameras and your own behavior patterns on facebook make the more enviable scum bags stand out.
U mad?
It ain fair. Deal with it.
If you want to generalize a little closer to reality how about......
People who won the genetic lottery aint all a bunch of wine tasting bums with daddies credit card. If anything daddy is likely a hell of a lot more responsible guy then Mr. working class hero; and Mommies probably smart well educated and grade A genetic material that managed to catch Daddies eye.
You really don't think intelligent responsible people can raise anything other then spoilt brats?
Fuck in my book all getting the above does is result in a heck of a lot higher expectations. Sure, with those higher expectations comes far better guidance, role models, better educational opportunities, nutrition, possibly genetics shit a whole bushel of things.
I would bet you 3 white socks that "silver spoon" backgrounds produce a hell of a lot higher percentage of "winners" then any other demographic.
Sure pulling yourself up by the boots makes a hell of a lot better story but in the end you get to the same place.
Taking all that shit away from people is just being a fuckin communist amd would hurt society as a whole. Quit being a bunch of jelous assholes. Sure it aint fair, but being a hater won't make your life any better and society acting on that hate results in EVERYBODY losing.
TLDR- U mad?

It's tough being 21 and the ONLY one out of your friends that is doing anything productive. Even my friends in college are fucking bums and get everything handed to them.
and the few I know that have jobs are DONE when they get off. I never feel like I'm done. It's kinda lonely >.>

Welcome to the club. Most people are fucking lazy as fuck and do the bare minimum required to be comfortable but again who gives a flying fuck. Those same people will end up being your employees one day. Consider your self lucky to have the mindset you have at such an early age.
The last thing this world needs is another guy with a 3 series. If it has to be a BMW, go for a 760Li or die.
Meh, I have one. Easier to maintain and cheap when bought used. Didn't have to blow an ungodly amount of money for a decent car. 7 series is way to problematic and expensive to maintain. To each their own though.
Hate to point this out to you dude, but you're not only jealous... you're green with envy.
Seriously though... who gives a fuck? You'll be happy that you paid for your 335 in cash, and that's fantastic. But what about when some other little snot rolls by in a shiny new 911 or lambo, also paid for by daddy?
Will that make you "angry"?
Realize that there will always be someone richer, more personable, have better girls, a better life, etc., etc., etc.... and it doesn't fucking matter.
Like the sunscreen song says, "in the end, you're only competing with yourself".
Hoboken?
Edit:
And BTW, you're being marketed to. You're becoming victim to your own poison. BMW wants you to look at this kid and envy him so you'll work harder to buy one.
And marketing aside bro, STOP LIVING IN THIS BITCH'S MOVIE! She is in YOUR movie, not the other way around. You don't like other people making you upset with what they do? What they own? Dumb shit they say? Their lack of work ethic? Want revenge? Want to just kick the shit out of a rich kid sometimes? The best revenge is not success. The best revenge is to ELIMINATE them from your fucking reality.
Would you let another man walk up and just physically impose his will on you without defending yourself? Then why the hell are you letting some rich chick do it? She's not affecting your body, she's actually in your mind now. Dude, don't get taken like that. You're gonna get old, you're gonna get sick, you're gonna fucking die. And so is she. And the most expensive BMW on the lot isn't going to change that so stop chasing other people's goals. Take a month and every time you want to hate on someone who "has", sincerely find yourself saying "good for them" and smile while you do it. See how much better you feel in 30 days. Your reality does not have to be subject to other peoples'. Butch up buttercup.
Don't judge the rich kids. I know a few. Unhappy lost souls. Much is expected from them and a very high bar is set for them.
They will never know the satisfaction victory & successes yet it is in their possession.
It's like eating the best steak, but you have no taste buds.
They're in constant search for satisfaction and they can't find it. They go mad sometimes.
