You sound like somebody who had an incredibly fortunate childhood and you don't understand anything about people who actually had to work to get where they are.
You claim that your parents didn't support you but they paid your college. It sounds like you got supported a lot.
The people who really had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps are people like me. I quit a full ride scholarship to go back home and get a job to support my father and family after he broke his back at work and it took two years before his disability paid out.
From there I was destitute and I've had to work my way back up to a point where I can afford to pay college out of pocket by myself while also affording all of my other expenses (like purchasing a house, and supporting my own family as an adult.) I've had to make serious sacrifices in my life.
You really should be less judgmental about other people because you sound ignorant when you make those comments.
You started you adult life with education and without being indebted for 20 years? You are a privileged one. That's just how it is. I am too. That's just life, but you should have the honesty to recognise that most people don't have this privilege. They can't be conservative and plan their life because they don't have the education or the resources (social or monetary) to do it.
You are oblivious to reality. There's nothing to do with you, you are blind. Hopefully one day you'll discover social sciences and you will learn some facts about your society.
Actually, I was thinking about what I said and that was way more harsh than I should speak to anyone.
I apologize for acting like a jerk. I appreciate what you said and hope you have a good day.
I was being far too sensitive, and that's on me.
