In the Minnesota college system she has extremely generous benefits. So, how much has she saved?
I notice she says she had "tons of student loans".
"I can't afford life while working. How can I even think of retiring?" the St. Paul, Minnesota resident said.
It is hard to retire if you are used to living paycheck to paycheck.
Her income now is about $40,000 a year plus. She took out $40,000 in student loans over 25 years ago, for law school, which she never completed. The remainder of the loans was recently forgiven.
She never considered buying a home, mostly because of her student loans.
If she is a victim of anything, she is a victim of feminism.
Why didn’t she marry and get a permanent room mate and financial life partner?
$40,000 a year!?!?
WTH?
you can earn that as a STARTING salary at the local Chic-Fil-A !!!
” is easy to live beyond your means at nearly any level of income”
Tht is so true.
Absolutely. She evidently bought into the "women can have it all" nonsense.
As a man, I will never understand a woman wanting to have a career over being a traditional housewife and mother. Having the option to get married and stay at home while the spouse supports you in raising the children is crazy to give up. I mean, even if the marriage doesn't work out, and the man drops her for a "trophy" wife, the courts are still going to give her half of everything the man has as well as a lifetime stream of payments.
Women had it made but now they are giving it up for the old 9 to 5 grind.
