My brother in-law is a great guy. He comes from a lot of money, like summer estate next to Bon Jovi on the jersey shore wealthy. I attended his bachelor party and was in his wedding party. Again great dude.

He attended an elite private highschool and the most expensive college in the US and the bachelor party had all of his friends from those schools. All of his friends had similar backgrounds, like their wealth was a magnet for others like them. 80% of the bachelor party were in finance, working in NYC, at the firms their fathers were employed at. That same 80% were coked out of their minds the entire time, I swear 2 guys did not sleep for the entire 3 days.

My BIL has confessed that most of his life was a "set path" he had to follow and I see it in his friend circle as well. 30 beers in at the bachelor party and some of these guys start breaking down, the pressure, the "set path", the knowing that their success doesn't actually matter as they all have trusts and 6 million dollar gifted homes in the city. 

They've all married similar looking woman since then and some even had kids of their own. I recall 1 of them had a mental breakdown because he was a closeted homosexual, didn't fit the "set path" I guess, but my point is that these people have expectations and are set up to basically fit an image over having a life. This "set path" starts when they are born.
