I suppose that I’m grateful that I can make all my car payments and start saving for retirement while most of my friends are living at home and working part-time jobs — but I often find myself lamenting the fact that I’m not living at home and not working a part-time job. From my perspective, these are just some of the life-changing, character-building experiences that I may never have.

You know, sometimes I have trouble thinking of a good, concise example of privilege. But this here — believing that having to live at home and work part-time for minimum wage while your college degree gathers dust are “CHARACTER BUILDING EXPERIENCES”, as opposed to depressing realities that some people can never escape — this is a solid example of privilege at its finest.

Yeah, whoever says that shit: fuck you. Give all your money to someone else who will use it to buy medication and food and cute pink hair bows and you can live out your dreams of poverty somewhere far away.
