[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article seems designed to make readers go "wow, she's rich. So unfair." I certainly don't find her financial situation relatable. But I also don't think it exactly refuted what she was saying. [/quote] No. Her story of feeling betrayed, lied to, and abandoned -- married to a stranger -- still stands and still sucks. The article's purpose is to inform all of us who fell for the "married women, learn about how your finances work! this can happen to even smart rich people!" branding narrative this book has gotten a huge amount of mileage out of when that piece is actually not true, Belle always had an enormous amount of money and was always going to be financially fine, and the true extent of her fortune is something she deliberately didn't disclose in the story to make it more compelling. Unfortunately this is further suggesting she is not that smart in more ways than one. [/quote]
