They made 120K in one year, apparently have no children, their rent is only 12K a year and they're taking food from charity?

How infantile are these overgrown children? What exactly did they blow their money on? Food, clothes and trips? Are they sorority girls fresh out of college?

I really have no sympathy.

I have a little sympathy and I worry about how long we're going to have a middle class with the sharply falling wages we're seeing. The only thing I don't have sympathy about is anyone who believed the 90s economy was good or that this economy we're in is based on anything solid has their eyes closed. The 90s was a good time to pay off all debts, learn to live on little and pay attention to where we're headed.

Yeah no sh!t. As a grad student I make "poverty"-level wages but I ain't starved to death yet-- one makes the concessions. 35k is alot of money, to ME. Hell I could move out of the $300/mo apartment and get a $400/mo apartment-- I could get Kraft mac and cheese instead of generic... I could even replace my running shoes more than once a year...

You're right, wide, these folks were (are) dumbasses and they brought (are bringing) their economic "hardships" on themselves... Some of us know how to live Spartan... Blows my mind that they beg their parents for rent money...
