    Am i privileged?

    So it has come to my attention that people think I am privileged. If i am how so?
    Here is my life story.

    Grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney in a 10 bedroom house. We had a live in Nanny for my sister and myself from when we were born to us enetering uni. We changed the nanny several times as we grew up so we could be exposed to different types of sciences and languages. (they were mostly graduautes from uni).
    We had cleaners and gardners to maintain our house. Every year we would go for two 3-4 holidays overseas.

    Schooling was all prestigious private schools and i went to the best uni in the state.

    I got my first property when i was 18 and now have a portfolio.
    After i got my degree i got a position in the family business (which got sold after i had been there for a year) at the bottom and now sit on the board of directors 10 yeats later.

    I have never really felt privileged and have had to prove my way and worth to get where i am today.

    I don't feel like my childhood was any different or that i got ahead because of it. So am i privileged and if so how?

    It would be no overstatement to call you a peasant I think.

    So no priviledge for you.

    I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but if this is true, maids and frequent oversea trips? That alone is pretty privileged in their own ways.

    I guess you got the rich part of being batman too eh?

    Pah, peasant.

    Mine hold aloft my pants so I may leap into them with both legs.

    A poor effort that has gotten a few bites already... I guess it doesn't take much for the people here on MMO-Champ.
