Instead of getting defensive about your privilege, get comfortable with it. Own it. And use it for good!! It's okay to recognize that you're privileged. As you seem to be a good, hardworking person who isn't part of the 1%, you're still one of us!! No one likes hearing a man dismiss his male privilege, no one likes hearing a white person dismiss their white privilege. Same thing with money. Recognize where you stand, and fight for what's good and right with it!!
