TIL some people's parents pay for HALF their rent and bills...
Every day is a test of my resolve not to become envious or resentful.
But this is right up there with female FULL scholarships for how much it shocked me
I agree with you in principles, but in this specific case it didn't make me sad as much as it just surprised me lol I didn't know parents did that.
I just assumed everyone was busting their ass like me
Some people's parents pay for 100% of their rent & bills
That should be twice as shocking as them paying for half of it
That's just called letting them live with you basically.
It just threw me off that people that I thought were working just as hard as me had their lifestyle subsidized by their parents that's all
Some baby boomers believe college is the way and their children are disqualified from getting financial assistance to go to college before a certain age except loans because their parents income is too high
They will push their children to go to college locally, provide free housing and say they should just focus on getting good grades instead of working
They might in the past before Obama care found this as a easier way to get their adult child health insurance due to old rules
@basedbagel You used to be in a bad economic position, then you compared yourself to others, and now you are both in a bad economic position AND miserable. And all that for people who don't even care about you.
Also, if you focus on what you lack, you will miss what you have. There are people out there who have to survive with less than $2 a day. And opportunities in life come by leveraging what you have, not what you lack, so it's important to focus on the former not the latter.
