[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can be born privileged and also work hard. The two are not mutually exclusive [/quote]

Of course. You can also be born NOT privileged, work even harder, and wind up with a lot less.

That's why it's obnoxious for people to emphasize their hard work as the reason for their success and glide right over an inheritance or a job they got through nepotism or even the gift of graduating from school debt free due to parent contributions or being able to live at home. Hard work alone is not enough for most people.[/quote]

When they say that they are probably comparing themselves to their peers, folks who started off with similar level of privilege. Like, I’ve never thought about it before this post, but I did better than many of my HS classmates and the children of my parents’ friends.[/quote]

Being able to live at home is a privilege? I thought being able to afford to live away from home was the privilege. Silly me. [/quote]

Yeah, having a good relationship with your parents and them having the space to house you so that you can save money, pay off student loans, etc without paying rent is absolutely 100% a privilege. [/quote]

Privileged people don’t have student loans & don’t need to “live at home” to save money. Their parents pay their rent or buy them a house.[/quote]

I’m privileged and had student loans and lived at home to pay them off.

There are levels of privilege.[/quote]
