amen. this is my biggest beef as well.

i grew up poor. i am doing well. but the people aroppund me act like it's a moral failing of my own that I didn't spend 2-5 years backpacking around the world on my parents dime. I am 'uncultured' and 'unambitious' is what I constantly hear. OK... sorry I had to pay debts and build a career from the bottom because my parents didn't give me a six figure job at their company...

i like my life a lot. i feel like i have 'made it'. but a lot of folks were born into more wealth than I will ever have... and for folks like this... my life is unworthy and pathetic. I've literally been told that 'your space at uni was wasted' by these rich pricks because they think they deserve more than me for their luck at the birth lottery.
