It's hard not to be bitter when you see the staggering difference in opportunities being handed out. Indeed these kids are very privileged and will have a big head start in life. The system is fucked.
But you're doing such good things for your niece and ensuring she didn't just go off a support cliff on moving to study. It's so helpful what you did for her and having that support will help her focus on her studies. Even if it's not a paid off house it's a lot more than some young people get and I'm sure she appreciates it immensely.
