I'm not saying you didn't work to get where you are, but if you ignore completely the chance and luck you had, then you're just arguing in bad faith.
Even more so if you can't see that people entering the workforce now have less chances and need more luck to get where you feel you worked hard to get.
I've done this, but I recognize most the cars on my street, so it's not weird when I see them following, or end up following them.
