If you've come from a less privileged background you don't have family support, likely won't inherit anything, probably don't own a house. Your priorities will be to shore up some basics in the short term, like breaking a hand to mouth existence or possibly working towards a mortgage. But focusing on your needs, due to the lack of wealth in your family and history, means that you must give up hope of future wealth, foregoing the same value and benefit that those who can afford through their privilege to take... Far more share options, the lottery tickets. I find the idea so repulsive that when I was offered roles twice at Monzo I refused both purely because of this. If it isn't already an unequal workplace that is biased towards those who started out with more then this guarantees it will become that. The only people who benefit from this are those that started with the privilege of wealth... Likely the white middle class male.
