[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many young adults expect to launch out of university with the same lifestyle they had when they left their childhood home to go to school. They expect to begin, where their parents finished up. Make sure she knows the reality and how to manage her expectations on a smaller budget. [/quote] This. My husband is always laughing about the people he interviews who are asking for 90k for an entry level position, and asking for promotions and raises after three months because they want to be able to afford a 3k/ month apartment. That’s just not how it works, and it’s not a good starting point for the rest of their lives. Everyone needs a crummy apartment, three grumpy roommates, and a couple years where they have to eat Mac and cheese and plan carefully to be able to make rent. That’s what builds real life skills.
