[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it was edited or something. At one point she talks about her parents mostly making pasta and prego when she was a kid, and then in another spot she talks about how she ate ssam as a kid, which made me assume she’s Korean and her parents cooked Korean food, so none of it made any sense.[/quote]

Also - she mentions she has home equity, a mortgage, and a monthly HOA payment under "Expenses." But then later on she mentions that Le Diplomate is 15 minutes away from "my apartment" and that she joins a video call for work back in "my apartment." If she had an apartment, wouldn't she be referring to her rent payment, not a mortgage/equity/HOA? Or maybe she owns property separately, and rents her everyday living space?

"Every Bastille Day, I try to have dinner at Le Diplomate. It’s not necessarily the most authentic menu, but powerhouse restaurateur Stephen Starr’s interpretation of the French bistro always hits its mark."

What does "it's not...the most authentic menu" mean? It looks like pretty solid French cuisine to me. What's specifically not authentic about it?

Overall I found the piece silly and harmless. If high-earning 20 somethings want to spend their money in this fashion, who am I to judge. Like other PPs, I suspect that it was embellished after the first draft.
