[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like OP's trust is pumping out $50k per year at most.  Which explains why she was able to keep up when her friends were poor students, but now that they're in their 30s with decent jobs, she can no longer keep up (nice apartment, vacations, nice things etc).

I find it incredible someone would blow off their whole working life responsibility based on this paltry sum.  DC is literally FILLED with people getting this kind of support from something other than a job.  Lots of people with trust funds, and inheritances. But even more common is just people in their 20s and 30s whose parents still pay the credit card bills.  A a huge chunk of DC people in their 30s and 40s whose parents buy them a $1m-$2m house (which is the equivalent of more than a $50k annual payment), or pay for multiple kids' private schools at $40k a pop, for instance. People getting five and six figure payments from parents in perpetuity, much like OP.  And these people all still work regular DC jobs and still hustle.

That OP never bothered to work hard speaks way more to OP's personality and core qualities, and not because OP has a trust fund.  [/quote]
