The language you use here is concerning and not empowering. Why would someone 'give' you $100k? Despite some arguable edge cases (hft, etc.) money is only earned by creating value.

> Some days I just "can't even". With my faith, my wife, my friends, I try to be upbeat and positive when it comes to the future but when I see people like Musk, Bezos, even Gates ...

Comparison is the thief of joy. My (unsolicited) advise is to narrow your focus to doing whatever you can to make you and your family's life better. Leave Reddit/Twitter/whatever, stop consuming media and focus exclusively on what is right in front of you.

Where are you looking away each time they pour another few trillion into the stock market?
