I'm not exactly a free rider, and I do work for a living, but I don't feel even remotely guilty about whatever luck or privilege I have or about not trying to proactively share it. I do admire those who "give back" though.

Feeling guilty about one’s privileges is silly. But one should recognize them for what they are.
Separately, if you suck up a lot of resources, you really ought have a good reason for doing so beyond the individually hedonic.
