What are your real first world problems?

Are you going to spend the next 50 years paying of student loans for a degree that still hasn’t provided you income?

Have you ever experienced financial hardship due to a medical condition that was no fault of your own?

Did you get evicted when your maternity leave without pay lasted for months because you were on medically necessary bed rest?

Have you ever experienced discrimination at work due to your biological sex, race, gender identity, or sexual preference?

Have you not been on vacation for over five years because your allotted days off are spent when your child has a cold or a day off from school?

Does childcare cost more than your rent?

Have you ever told your child, “Don’t worry, I already ate,” and been lying?

Do you think we discount our real problems when we play the “first world problems” game, forcing ourselves to place our faulty cell phone service or sportsball team loyalty above serious issues that should be addressed?
