1- I’m neither rich nor do I at a higher pay grade nor do I have (personal relationships/good connections?) nor am I successful nor am I educated but I’m good at suffering.

2- I’m neither rich, nor do I at a higher pay grade, nor do I have (personal relationships/good connections?), nor am I successful, nor am I educated, but I’m good at suffering.

3- I’m neither rich, at a higher pay grade/higher in rank, have (personal relationships/good connections?), successful, nor educated, but I’m good at suffering.

4- I’m neither rich, at a higher pay grade/higher in rank, have (personal relationships/good connections?), successful, nor educated. But I’m good at suffering.



I really need some help with those sentences. Would you help?
 
What sort of help do you want? Where did you find them? Did you write them yourself?
 
Which one is grammatical and natural, please? Yes, I wrote them myself.
 
None of them are natural. Try breaking them up into several sentences.
 
I’m neither rich, nor at a higher pay grade/higher in rank. I’m not successful, nor educated. But I’m good at suffering.

I’m neither rich, at a higher pay grade/higher in rank, nor successful. I’m not highly educated/well qualified. But I’m good at suffering.

Please check.
 
I’m neither rich (no comma) nor [STRIKE]at a higher pay grade/[/STRIKE]higher in rank. I’m not successful[STRIKE], nor[/STRIKE]​ (no comma) or educated. But I’m good at suffering.

I’m neither rich, [STRIKE]at a higher pay grade/[/STRIKE]higher in rank, nor successful. I’m not highly educated/well qualified. But I’m good at suffering.
See above. Use nor only in a phrase that begins with neither (though there are some exceptions).
