What you pointed out is adults have responsibilities. We all have responsibilities to work around to follow your goals and dreams.

Not having responsibilities is not a sign of privilege - but just a sign of a different phase of life. So that means one has to be tactical to pick the opportunity that matches what effort & energy one can put towards that opportunity.

You can’t work around all responsibilities. For example, if you have to take care of your sick mom, you simply cannot do it.

I’m going to be honest. You don’t sound super privileged but you are more privileged than a lot of people and you don’t seem to realize it.

There is nothing wrong with privilege and there are definitely lazy people but it gets ridiculous when you keep posting “if I could do it, why can’t everyone else?”

Totally agree, but people get really hung up and defensive when you imply that their success came from anything except sheer grit and Horatio Algers rags to riches work ethic.
