Not even close. That’s a Mary Margret, Woodford Millhouse IV, and an Eloise (all family names)

She needs to move to an area that is far cheaper.

She could probably afford a cheap apartment in rural Kansas on a waitress job.

If living in a much much better world is boring to you then I think maybe you and people who think like you might be a large contributor to the problems with the world.
If you suffer from boredom then you might want to look within yourself. Maybe you're not bored maybe you're just a boring person.

This goes back to why a vast majority of millennials believe they can’t afford housing.

They make idiotic decisions and choose to live in places they can’t afford.

Hell..I'm fricking moving there in a month. Not excited about leaving a 3 bedroom 2 bath brick house to go rent in Portland.

But at least I'll still have my Louisiana house as an option if I realise cant stand it there.

Um


Student loans and taxes are some of the only debts you can't absolve through bankruptcy.

What the hell did she think was going to happen?

So she took out student loans, then didn't use that education she obtained to get a job good enough to not be homeless with a kid, then didn't pay back her student loans.

I don't see the issue here.

Lots of cities in the Plains states that are very affordable.

I've always thought about moving to a place like Omaha.

Yeah. But, then where will she perform?

Basically we are subsidizing her lifestyle.

Plus, Portland is a top 20 most expensive place to live.

She made her choices and she chose poorly at every step.

I live in Seattle and Portland is right on par with cost of living expenses as Seattle. A problem with Portland is that it attracts these performing arts and theatre types, that are shocked when they find out a one bedroom apartment in Portland costs over $2K per month. She’s doing an injustice to her daughter and it’s asinine, thinking she can manage living in that city, essentially unemployed, or working odd performing arts jobs.
