😲 You just can't make this stuff up.
In fairness My parents pitch in for education related stuff but even then I STILL have student loans 😭
Meanwhile some lucky jackass is going to get a down payment on their house and/or a 50% of their bills and rent paid...
But we gotta pull ourselves up by our 🥾 straps...
I try not to think about it, its so painful.

The night before my first day of college many many moons ago I was working late at a shitty job earning shit money. I had next to nothing.
The next day at college I met a guy who was living in an apartment close by, bought for him outright by his dad.

I just had a Nam flashback
I worked for minimum wage at my campus job. One day a feminist coworker bitched to me about her pay.
I asked her how much she got paid, since I make minimum wage she should make 77% of that, she looked shocked and went silent.
Come to find out EVERYONE in there was not only paid more but they all got a raise and didn't tell me...
Some people just bitch about anything

The best privilege is rich/sane family privilege and there's not even a close second.
These nepo babies will brag about their 4.0s and never acknowledge the fact that your background stress of trying not to starve has anything to do with your slightly lower GPA

Like TFM, I was blessed with above average intelligence.
According to Jordan Peterson, "if you could choose to be born at the 95th percentile for wealth, or the 95th percentile for IQ, you would be more successful at age 40 as a consequence of the latter choice."
Sounds roughly correct when looking at the outcomes of lottery winners, but also assumes low levels of political corruption.
