When I was young, I've always imaged what it would be like to be rich and what I would do with all my money. Oh, the things I would buy and have! My life would be wonderful and complete! After watching Born Rich, I'm not so sure I want that anymore. I was surprised to see that these rich kids are just as troubled, if not more, than kids who are born from poor and average income families. What happened to them? For me, the only one who was normal was the only one, who admitted to having depression, Josiah Hornblower. During his college life, his parents took him out of school due to depression. I think that was the best decision that his parents have ever made for him! By him working side by side with normal, hardworking individuals, he was able to learn to connect himself to society and actually find meaning to his life. He found out that working hard made him feel good. He describes those years as the best years of his life. He was finally able to learn what life outside of being rich was like. He is the only one who is worthy of my respect, because although he is a millionaire and does not have to work, he has a job, just making about $50,000.00/yr. That shows me that money is not who or what he is all about. He is more than just a name (Vanderbilt/Whitney), he is an average human.
