Then I'd better start looking for a rich husband, quick!
Just joking about the husband, but damn life is hard.
Laura, I guess they see my brothers having good jobs and they know (and I know) I won't be able to have my own apartment here in Manhattan on a tech salary. I'm in my dishwasher mood this evening.
Yes, therapy and medication for my specific issues...covered.
So I gather from all the comments that it's not right to put someone down for "not living up to their potential", BUT it IS right to remind them about the practicalities of surviving independently and making a living.
Good advice and comments from all.
Jesus, Manhattan?? Find a nice wealthy Italian guy and settle down! Seriously, Mimsy, unless you're a professional, there's no way in Hell anyone could afford Manhattan without living with six of their best friends....hang in there, I can't afford to not live with my parents and I'm 44 - you'll do better than me in no time.
