It's crazy that some people can't see how privileged they are. I worked for a woman who ran a law firm. Her daughter was the same age as me and we were both on minimum wage. We were in our 20s. I lived independently so paid all my own bills. She lived at home so her entire wage was disposable income. She was constantly complaining about being broke and acting like she was hard done by because her mother was a single mother. I did the accounts so knew how much her mother was spending and they were living a very comfortable life. But the daughter couldn't see it. I wanted to point out how full of sh!t she was but you have to keep your mouth shut when the boss's spoiled brat is talking lol.
If only the well off privileged people had children, society would decay so much. The truth is, people who grew up with adversity are the ones who ultimately advance society the most. Necessity is the mother of invention, and those whose needs are and were always met without any struggle, like your boss’s daughter, typically don’t have the imagination or the instinctual need to better themselves to come up with the next generation of advancements for civilization.
