Live beyond their means imo. The result is if their good paying job goes away they can't take a low paying job and work their way back up..we have been careful not to fall into that trap. We drive old cars and bought a fixer-upper house that was livable and paid it off in 3 years. This allowed us to quit our good paying jobs we both hated and seek jobs doing exactly what we wanted to do for very close to minimum wage..now 6 years later we are almost back where we started income wise.

I hope this woman finds happiness and work after she sheds the tremendous pressure of over extension. .of coarse it would be great if there were still a labor party working for the masses..but alas the labor party is dead. .
