Wow this is absurd. The fact that you wrote this is a perfect example of your privilege. The fact that you have a credit card “for emergencies”is a lot more than most people get. The fact that you can afford to go to college and not use all the money you make at your job to pay of student debt is most than more than most people get. The fact that you work hard is great- and it is wrong for people to assume that you don’t, but you also have to acknowledge that a lot of people have to work a hell of a lot harder to get half of what you have. Were you encouraged to go to school and do your homework? did your parent support you when you gained academic achievements- then you are entitled, because you started off knowing the value of education and how to advance your self– that is privilege. I am sorry that you feel like others judge you because of your chosen lifestyle choices- but if your biggest problem is complaining about being called out on your privilage…. yeahhhhh thats pretty much what entitlement is.
