[quote=Anonymous]I was prepared to roll my eyes, but I actually really liked the OP! With her family money I'm sure she could've skated by with some easy degree and cruised into some BS office job that her contacts got her, but she chose a route where she's making a difference in others lives and requires a tremendous amount of hard work and perseverance. Certainly having all that generational wealth and cultural capital helped her on her career path -- good schools, good tutors, ability to freely volunteer/do internships/research without having to worry about paying rent or tuition, no worries about med school application fees etc. -- but no one becomes a surgeon without tremendous grit, intellect, and discipline.

She helped a student from her high school with her project, seems like a great aunt to her niece and nephew and had a "girls night" with a niece struggling socially. She donates a respectable amount to charity. Sure, she's probably very intense and type A (don't you have to be in that line of work?!) and I'd probably only be able to spend a limited amount of time with her if I knew her in real life LOL. But really, from what we see in this money diary (and I know that doesn't tell the whole story), she seems like a good, grounded person.

Good for her! [/quote]
