> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sublight \* > \*\*What bugs me is that I work seven days a week at three different jobs, and until finally getting a good full-time job a few months ago I was still sweating over whether I’d cover my mothly expenses. Just rent, food and utilities, plus the luxury of an internet connection. No designer shoes, no facials, and no begging. > > This, apparently, is beneath Karyn’s diginity. No way in hell that I’d ever give her a cent. > \*\* Great! Don’t! Choice is a beautiful thing. But I still don’t understand why some folks are so twisted up! Why the hell is it so bad that she’s found an easy (and heaven forbid - fun) way to rake in the dough? How can you fault someone for finding a clear, straight path for themselves? Should she just make her life miserable by working three jobs and selling her teeth if she doesn’t have to just to appease your tortured souls? Just because you have it tough doesn’t mean someone can use the old bean to come up with a better plan. Sheesh, enough with the martyrdom! You guys sound like little kids stomping their feet and pouting because someone else got a bigger piece of cake. You’re grown-ups now, just get up and get yourself another damn piece! Now get back to work, Karyn needs your help! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-dont-me-but-im-20k-in-debt-help-me-out/124244.md?page=4)
