When Tierney Cooke arrived in New York City in 2010, she faced a daunting choice: pay rent or pay off her student debt. She had taken out loans to put herself through four years at the University of Washington in Seattle, and her first job as a nanny barely paid the bills.Ms. Cooke, 26, a California native, eventually landed a job in digital advertising, but still couldn’t find the money to pay the rent and the debt collectors at the same time.Several missed payments dashed her credit score and that of her father, since he had co-signed the loans. Ms. Cooke stifled her dream of living alone.“I take my responsibility for my part and not being on top of it,” Ms. Cooke said, but added that she signed on the dotted line as a clueless teenager. “At 18 or 19, agreeing to take on thousands and thousands of dollars of debt, I had no idea what it meant.”Eventually, Ms. Cooke moved into a two-bedroom in Manhattan that housed four women, one boyfriend and two dogs, including Ms. Cooke’s cockapoo, Oliver.She moved out, and for two months, slept on friends’ couches and air mattresses in divided bedrooms and spare nooks. Oliver, the dog, was not always welcome where Ms. Cooke was, so he had his own itinerary of abrupt relocations. She shed any remnants of an REM cycle at her sixth pit stop. “I was basically sharing a living room with a guy who snored and talked in his sleep,” she said.

“It feels like October all over again,” said Tierney Cooke, a 22-year-old transplant from the Bay Area, who met her boyfriend, Dylan Houle, also from the East Bay, at the same bar while watching the Giants. “If they didn’t bring it down here, it would have been a disservice to all these loyal fans.”

fucking seriously. also how many times has the nytimes run this story? young college grad can't afford an his/her own apartment in manhattan, oh no! wait wait wait does she find a life of her own in ................ brooklyn?
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link
i kinda feel like just let the nytimes be the nytimes but on the other hand i am fascinated and surprised by the existence of young people who still feel like they need to live in manahattan, brooklyn has been media phenomenon for what 15 years, grandparents in kansas know that its good to live in brookyn idgi

You occasionally run into young people in my "field" who talk about Brooklyn like it's an exotic locale. Even that's becoming uncommon though. Usually either 30-somethings who got entrenched in Manhattan before Brooklyn became acceptable, or 20-somethings who just moved to the city and are from conservative families.

FWIW I think working as a nanny and being unable to make student loan payments isn't quite quid ag territory, even if she has unrealistic expectations.
― Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
You should totally be able to work as a nanny, make student loan payments, and generally be free of excessive want and fear. It may not involve a one-bedroom apartment, and at this point, to find that a shocking wake-up call when you finish school is a BIT quid/ag. But yeah it probably should be filed under a slightly different category.
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:37 (nine years ago) link
I really don't like playing the "middle class person isn't making the money management choices I would make" game, it seems very not in the spirit of this thread.
― Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:48 (nine years ago) link
Also the fact that her father co-signed the loans and then had his credit score dashed means that he didn't have the money to help pay them. Also she went to a state school. Reading between the lines here there is nothing about this person that is remotely "ruling class."

Also I don't believe this is true in New York. A nanny might be taking home like $500/week. You can't really even rent a decent room in Manhattan or large swaths of Brooklyn for under $1000/month now. I mean there's always Queens, but still. Who even knows what her loan payment was -- $500/mo? $1000/mo? I just really hate people saying "x person should have no trouble making ends meet" with no idea what their financial situation actually is.
― Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link
clearly the correct thing to look down on her for is going in debt for an out state public school when she was from california
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:55 (nine years ago) link
dude, she refused to share an apartment with other roommates because they were "going to college". 26 in new york means no manhattan, no solo apartment and acting as if that's a hardship is plenty quid/aggwe've both been in her position; neither of us considered ourselves entitled enough to get what she had. and neither of us had a cockapoo.
― Look at this joke I've recognised, do you recognise it as well? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 15:30 (nine years ago) link
"had" = "wanted" rather
Cockapoos are super cute. Don't malign the cockapoo.

It was a two-bedroom apartment with five people and two dogs.
