Shouldn't it be 'their lives' because of the plural pronoun? But then again, 'their' is also used to avoid the his/her dilemma. Any guidelines?

You would use "our" not "their" to be in agreement with "us".
'Some of us work hard from the beginning of our lives, whereas others seem to be born with a silver spoon.'
