The fact that the right solution is not accessible to everyone does not make it less right. If a specific cure for cancer costs say $20k per month, not everyone can buy it - but it doesn't not make it inefficient cure for cancer.

To be pedantic, your parent didn't say anything about right or wrong. It is irrelevant the correctness of a solution if you cannot implement it. Taking one year off is not a solution (even tough it is a right solution) for a lot people.

The same for the cancer's cure. It is not a solution for a lot people.

I’m not privileged just because I don’t have the same responsibilities as other people. I made choices and those choices allow me to live an extremely cheap lifestyle. The fact other people have mortgages and/or families doesn’t make _me_ privileged; it’s a different situation.

The parent claimed living out of a car is “insane” and “privileged”. Focus on that and let it sink in for a moment.
