Being privileged means having more than someone else like more money, more opportunities, more doors open, a good job, a nice house, a great car and not having to worry about when the next meal is gonna be there or if i'm gonna have money left after paying the bills or will I ever get out of this financial situation. Some people are more privileged than others by having a better life since they were born and never having to worry abou…
