The thing is, once you're financially secure and rising up Maslow's hierarchy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs), these first-world problems are your main concerns: what am I doing with my life, and why am I doing it? Of course it is a luxury to be able to worry about self-actualization and finding a comfortable identity/purpose, but so what? Should she not worry about these things? Should she not question her trajectory?
I understand that injustice is happening all over the world, but isn't it still important to examine your own life? Isn't that basically the goal of being alive: to figure out what you really want to do with your time on this planet?
I don't consider that Millennial privilege. I consider it a good idea.
The goal of doing something "more important" like solving world hunger or whatever should be to get more people able to concentrate on 1st world problems.
It is good both for people to help others get up to first world, and for people to deal with first world problems too.
