[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you can't afford school or your lease because you lost your job with only a few weeks' notice, then you couldn't really afford them eny way.  You need to take some ownership amd get control of your finances.  It is no one's fault but yours if you have no safety net.[/quote]

Not at all.  I am a nanny myself, with bills to pay and no family support to fall back on.  I have definitely been through times in my life when I was living paycheck to paycheck, so it's not that I don't understand how someone could get in that position.  What I am disagreeing with is her implication that it is somehow the family's fault that she can no longer afford those things. If she has not built up a safety net for herself, and that is no one's responsibility but herself.  If living with her aunt was an option, why wasn't she doing that rather than leasing a place of her own while going to school?  It is fine for her to make those choices, but not fine for her to imply that the family is somehow responsible for making sure that she can maintain her lifestyle.  Losing one's job is always a possibility, and it just as easily could have been the case that she had a medical condition that meant she had to quit. Would that have been the family's fault too?[/quote]
A medical condition isn't a choice; a bigger paycheck is. Except of course if they can't provide basic necessaties. But they had a nanny.[/quote]
