By rich I mean comfortably private school, buying luxury items and holidays on a regular basis witohut having to save up for it.

If you think you've earned your money and people are just jealous do you not see 'your' money came from extactive capitalistic practices and its taken from the pockets of people who are not rich...?

Like when you have a closet of birkins but then read about someone who cant buy what their 6 year old wants this cgristmas. That kind of guilt.

Going by your logic, do you feel guilty having a roof over your head when there are people homeless? Do you feel guilty when you eat a meal and there are people starving? Do you feel guilty being well when people have life limiting illnesses? Do you feel guilty living in a safe country that's not at war?

If you do, that's a lot of guilt to be carrying around on a daily basis.

The people I know who are wealthy have worked hard for everything they have. Why should they feel guilty from their successes?!
