Whats worse than being a peasant is the realisation that your past success was mostly based on luck than on skill or hard work. But then, after the animal updates, this is probably a pretty common realisation.
If you are tired of being one, do something about it. Whining and complaining won't change anything. Do as many things as rich people do every day - and you will get out of your peasant reality within 1-24 months.
