Being the victim of a layoff can feel very liberating if you have the financial means to support yourself and your family during a transition to a new gig. It can be very stressful if you have been living paycheck to paycheck. I have never considered someone 'privileged' who has earned their position through hard work and dedication. It sounds like you could easily find a new job because you have developed skills that other companies find valuable, not because someone just handed you something on a silver platter.
