10. I'm sorry, I didn't mean
Edited on Mon Dec-08-08 12:53 AM by GirlinContempt
to mock people who legitimately are in really tough positions who have to do that sort of thing. Really, I didn't mean it like that at all.

I am mocking her because she has very very few costs, she has a job plus her two night gigs she does weekly DJing that bring in money, so there is really no reason for her to be returning home to mooch off of her parents. Because that's what I see it as. Not everyone who has to do that is mooching, but someone who makes say minimum $2000 a month pre tax, who has to pay a cell phone bill, a $60 buss pass, groceries, $350 rent and a $15 internet bill is ridiculous. A modest expenditure on those items would cost you maybe $600 a month. Even if you bought more groceries, what, $700? She's a single person in a modestly priced apartment with a reasonably paid job, no children, no car, no mortgage, etc etc etc. This I think is insane.

But I am sorry if it came off that I was mocking people who truly need to move home with parents because of serious financial issues. I didn't mean it that way, and I don't think any less of people who need to do that. I changed that line in my OP.
