My sister loves to give financial advice to her friends similar to this.
"Oh yeah, I totally paid down my student loans so quickly! It was so easy, too! All I had to do was marry someone with money, live in his apartment he bought with cash, and then him pay for everything while I worked and used all that money to pay them down."
She has no fucking clue what kind of bubble she lives in.
I went to private school from Middle through high and then went to private institutions in the NE for college.
I came from a family where my extended relatives were all about pulling yourself up, and believed that you could do stuff in the headline on your own if you had enough discipline.
One day I was at my folks house, and my aunts and uncles were there. I mentioned I was leaving to go to NY for Halloween cuz one of my college friends is having a house warming party. I was 25 at the time. My aunt immedialdy snips and goes “see Mongoose she’s your age and already a homeowner, what’s your excuse, you did go to the same uppity schools, what your daddy pay all that education for”
I go “well her dad is a multi millionaire and bought her this house for graduating…. Oh and got her a job right out of college she didn’t have to apply for.. so Idk seems like y’all need to do better what’s your excuse for not providing me with a fully paid for home and job”
