    “…and I might be exaggerating a little bit when I tell my story… or maybe a lot, I can’t keep track of all my lies. Anyway… NO EMPATHY, that’s the point!”

      The real story:

      Mommy and Daddy paid for 100% of college. They also gifted her a luxury car when she graduated.

      They purchased her a 4 bedroom condo while at college. Then charge her roommates rent to pay the mortgage plus a little extra. When she graduated they sold the condo and let her keep the money from the sale.

      One night she got drunk at a frat party, ate ramen, and slept in her car until she could sober up because her friend took her keys.

        Yeah. That’s exactly it. People who have never broken in work boots, don’t get why a bare wood handle shovel is a war crime, or how long it takes a burst blister to heal. Hard work pays off? No ma’am, generational wealth pays off. People who ‘‘made it’’ to home base who were born on third really do think THEY did it all, and there must be something wrong with you if you can’t pull money out of your trust fund to ‘knuckle down’ in their aunt’s condo for a few years and do an unpaid internship. Couldn’t buy new shoes that whole time!
