[quote=bearishgurl]Sounds like your niece is just spoiled, meadandale. Working for a judge is NOT an entry-level position. It is at least two promotions up from that. She DEFINITELY makes enough to live comfortably in SB County as a single person, assuming her debt load is not too high . . . lol. You have your sister/brother and perhaps their spouse to thank for enabling her. They’re not helping her grow up and become independent.[/quote]

Spoiled…enabled…it’s all the same. The sad thing is that her half sister just graduated from high school and has NEVER worked. She has no driver’s license, no money, no work experience and both her parent’s are basically broke as well–yet she wants to go to community college. How she’ll pay for it is anyone’s guess She hasn’t even been forced (like all my brother’s and sisters as well as me were) to do chores around the house so she hasn’t even a glimmer of anything resembling a work ethic.

She got a bunch of money for graduation. Did she save it so she could use it to pay for tuition or books are maybe get a car? Nope. SHE WENT TO THE MALL…and bought a bunch of clothes and other crap she doesn’t need. Savings? We don’t need no stinkin’ savings!

It’s gonna be ‘interesting’ to see how this train wreck unfolds…
