I come from a deprived background, was homeless as a kid, and poor most of my adult life, AND I've experienced considerable privilege on account of being white and living in a country where I had access to an education that gave me a path out of that situation, see it's not that hard to accept unless you're a fucking baby 👍🏻

The replies to this have been pretty wild, a lot of denial of what constitutes privilege, ignorance that there is a world outside the west, opinions about what kinds of work are deserving of pay, and judgements about what people do with their money.. To be clear, I *am* motivated by financial gain in the way I spend my time I don't want to spend my entire life working, I've already been working for almost thirty years and want to retire as young as possible
