Hmmm. If you have to ask, you can't afford it?

The feeling you have is common to privileged assholes. It is easily remedied by consuming most of a 750 ml bottle of Courvoisier XO Cognac.
In doing so, your status as a privileged asshole will be confirmed, and you will no longer give a shit about such nonsense, at least until the next morning.

See if all that privilege can be leveraged into being accepted into an adult ed writing course. You are correct about the asshole part. Own it and move on.

I can offer a Venmo address, and you can feel free to relieve yourself of as much filthy lucre as necessary to make you feel less privileged, and therefore more secure.

Each morning, look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I'm a privileged asshole and everybody hates me" ten times. Then go out into the world and get drunk.

I only have Paypal. Will a Venmo account get me more lucre?

You could go to Mozambique, and open a beach side horse riding tourist resort, have half your horses die from neglect, and complain that you had to leave your old home because of economic terrorism.... Then make stupendous amounts of money off of idiot Israeli, German, British, and Australian tourists, while also conniving them in to working as "volunteers" to do the daily chores.
Then get the NYT to write an article about your place that takes up space on the front page, and acts as massive free advertising, because you have a friend who writes freelance articles, and knows someone in the editorial dept. at the NYT, who's been trying to pry open her panties for over a decade.

In your day to day dealings with yourself and others, be genuine and sincere .
Deal more into the outside world and set some targets there.
Set a standard of thought and
behavior for yourself - one that actually represents your values and principles - and stick to it.
The real you and opportunity will appear.
The feeling of being just another asshole will disappear.
You're welcome

Can we borrow your jet? Just for a week or two? Oh, and a CC for fuel?
I just want to help you realize that there're much worse privileged asshole wannabes than you. Happy to take one for the team!

Douse yourself with British Sterling cologne. At ~$4.00/oz., you'll feel and smell less privileged, although you'll still be white and male.

This is so weird:
I just started reading this thread for the second time, but I only just realized it was the second time. As I read the original post just now, I thought, This guy needs some British Sterling. I started scrolling down, saw my post from July 31, and my f**king head spun around three times!
