It seems like everybody in my generation that's doing well financially have their parents paying all or part of their living expenses.

I have to pay rent, and all my family members like cousins had their parents buy houses for them, or their parents are paying their rent. My sister married a man whose parents built their house for them. They're all on their parent's insurance plans, and I have to pay my own insurance. I wasn't eligible for financial aid in college because my parent's made too much money, but I was in school with people whose parents were paying their way through school and they were getting financial aid from the government.

And people will talk down to me about how broke I am, or, giving me unsolicited advice from somebody that never had to pay rent or mortgage in their life. The only financial help I ever got from my parents since being an adult is being wired $100 from my dad one time, a decade ago, when I was stranded.

I feel at such a disadvantage to my competition. I work with people and collect the same wages as people whose parents are paying their rent for them.

Between 15 and 20 years ago, I had an online friend that I would let borrow my Steam account to play the games I had on it. I probably gave him access around 2006 or something. He played off and on my account for maybe 5 years, then I lost contact with him. But I never changed my account password. There was never any issue with him trying to steal my account.

Then a few years ago I noticed my whole Steam account was taken over, and password changed. It's still tied to my email but that's because he didn't have access to my email the account was tied to. I dug into it, and it turns out my friend had a son, and his son got a hold of the account and took it over, and he even bought games to add onto the account. So the account has games on it that I bought originally, then games his son bought on it.

I just let him keep it. This is all a true story.
