I was just getting ready to make a reply along the lines of who cares what outcomes for rich kids are as long as there is opportunity for non rich kids. That is to say, who cares if little Richie Ritch will succeed 100% of the time because of his wealth, as long as your average poor can succeed provided they put in the work (i.e., isn't denied opportunity).
Your comment took a way different direction than I was expecting and genuinely made me reflect.
You see, I grew up extremely poor (yes, those "hoods" you hear about), and figure it's possible to make it out. But, I do do what you mentioned above A LOT. To the point that some times I feel guilty expensing my cell phone even though it's a perk.
I grew up privileged -- and in most decades, fairly rich. But I definately feel guilty about expensing things. I think that's just because my personality is pretty diffident.
Though, as I started earning money myself and not living off my family, I became more open to enjoying the perks that are offered me.
