Reading down to the bottom...

"After taxes, she takes home about $2,300 a month. Rent runs $750, and the full monthly payments on her student loans would be about $700 if they weren't being deferred, which would not leave a lot left over."

How is $850 not a lot left over for discretionary spending when you are 26 and just starting your career? You eat crap food, walk and take public trans and you make it work. This smacks of the kind of entitlement that just makes me sick.

And at $700/month it would take her nearly 12 years to pay the loan off. I'm guessing math isn't one of her strong suits either.

Well, she's 26. by the time she pays it off, she'll have been paying it for close to a third of her life.

I don't understand it myself. $850 is more than enough to live on per month, especially at her age.
