Winning the lottery of life, being born in Australia after world war 2 where everyone born is in the global top 1%.

Lottery of life indeed. I have been to many places in this world, and have seen many things that make me thankful I was born in a place where there is the opportunity to have a good and comfortable life if I make the effort to make it happen. A lot of people in a lot of places have been dealt such a shitty hand that their opportunities for a life similar to mine are near zero, no matter what they do in life.

That's not true in the US's case (or basically any country, for that matter). Sorry for breaking your fantasy.
