There are a lot of disadvantaged people all over the world at the moment.

Thank you for this comment. This article and some of the comments here have made me enormously uncomfortable.

There are serious double standards where if privileged people do it, it's wise/clever/smart. If poor people do essentially the same thing, they are morally depraved abusers for wanting money.

The phrase "fake it til you make it" comes to mind here. For privileged people, that approach is celebrated and encouraged. Here, it's being maligned in a way that strikes me as classism.
