In general I object to unpaid internships but based on her description of her workday I am comfortable suggesting that this person, at least, should not be getting paid for her internship

I'm sure she goes to a public university that has reasonable tuition, right?
hahaha just kidding

Jennifer, her parents were Friends fans.

wait, nvmd, she eats, it's just that it isn't a one-time monthly charge she can pass off to her parents and thus doesn't fit the budget

Can someone explain to me what you possibly get from a $210/mo gym? I pay $60/mo for a NYSC membership and I can go to any club in the area, take a variety of classes if I want, always get the equipment I need, and some locations have nice pools and basketball courts. WTF is worth more than 3x that amount? Do you get a personal masseuse?

why even list out the moviepass? it's $10 a month... you make $25 an hour.... if you're not going to enumerate all other miscellaneous expenses.... >_< i mean obviously this is the least of the problems here but it's just weird

has to be a lot of personal trainer stuff and maybe it's a "gym" that also includes a lot more spa-like luxuries?
Probably doesn’t have a bunch of old dudes glaring at her

Equinox is a gym for fancy rich people. They have Kiehl's shampoo in the showers and a fancy lounge and cafe. It has more of a spa feel than a gym feel. I got a membership through a job a few jobs ago. I wouldn't pay for it out of pocket!

Equinox is pretty nice but not nice enough over the cost of NYSC or NYHRC.

Actually, I take that back, if I lived close to an Equinox I would shell out for it.

She's trying to show how thrifty she is. I'm surprised she didn't also say "Sometimes I eat beans and rice."

the trick is that if you're affluent enough you don't see going out to eat or even having drinks as part of your "entertainment" budget. that's just your normal food budget
so dinner with your coworker and whatever is the same as eating a packet of ramen

That whole thing reads like a sad parody. Also $25/hr for whatever a marketing intern for HR consulting is, is pretty good.

she seems a bit parasitic at age 21, sure, but think of the valuable contributions she'll soon make to society as a HR marketing consultant

i think my favourite part is the caption under the picture of their dolls-house-sized living room which reads 'The apartment came with big windows, a kitchen peninsula with seating, and a surprisingly large bathroom'
YES BUT IT COSTS FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH
also the caption omits the kicker from the same line in the story itself, which admits they bisected the living room to make a second bedroom

i mean if i'd made a few mill working for gordon gekko in the 80s i could see this happening to me. at a much lower price point, moviepass demonstrated how quickly i might reorient my entire lifestyle if something normally expensive became effectively free. that piece is a slog though - i remember reading one of the exposes a few years back, finding it fascinating, and also it not taking half an hour.

the question is were there any women who felt empowered enough to preserve this same absurd entitlement

Idk the whole piece is literally “man relies on airline employees more than his own family and is shocked when the airline realises its a business”. Not only the thing with the flights, but phoning agents up to talk for hours on end?!
