Good for her, she started young, worked hard and is reaping the benefits, I don't know why society thinks wasting an entire decade of your life is a acceptable
She sacrifice her 20s to build long term wealth. She worked 60-80 hours/week. Would you?

I didn't have to work 80 hours for most of my 20s to do so, and I don't feel the need to be an insufferable twit on Twitter.
I don't like when people brag about their wealth; it's so unbecoming to me.

Somebody asked her how did she afford to invest and she said from living home with her mom:
It might not be rocket science but it is privilege
Do not pass go, do not collect $200 bragging about working hard to save in her 20s while she got money for a down payment from living at HOME. Not everyone can live at home. I’d bet money her mother probably threw some funds her way also to invest. ALSO she said she is 41 that means she was out of college well before the recession that hit in 2009... she missed a lot of the struggle millennials went through. If she is 41 that means she graduated in 1999!!!! PLUS lived at home working 60-80 hour weeks to stack bread in her 20s... really not applicable to your average 20 year old in the year of our lord 2019 during late stage capitalism. She had a solid decade pre recession (and pre mortgage bubble burst) to invest in property and stack before she was even 30. In 2003 she probably put $75 and some gum down for a mortgage that she has now benefited from since the housing crisis. Context and perspective matters.
Also let’s not romanticize working 60-80 hour weeks, I’ve done it personally and yes I was able to save racks on racks on racks but it’s brutal and people literally die from stress/overwork with those types of hours. I hate capitalism.

Feel like a sucka going into this thread expecting to see someone who lived life and made smart moves
Its one of those spoiled brats who brag off their parents accomplishments. School paid for and had the luxury of living at home paying no rent/bills for years. Gotta be a dummy to fukk that up
I dont think she sacrificed much, more like her attitude had her not getting invites

The coli is a funny place.
You don't like broke women because you feel like you have to carry them around financially and you don't like successful women because you can't really control them.
What do you like?
because shes a woman that isn’t married which is a very negative thing on the coli. If this was a man the coli would be like “to that man, hope he doesn’t get married”. It’s crazy how this site is against marriage, rejoices in the fact that marriage rates are dropping but still expects women to be married
Y'all trying to make it about something bigger and use the WOMEN card, like that is why she is being attacked.... Stop iteither y’all don’t care about a chick’s accomplishments thus you will support her and be subject to losing money in divorceor you actually should care what she makes as she brings her own shyt to the table and doubles up y’all money
Nobody was asking anything.. She came out to brag to the world about her accomplishments... THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE
What is not fine.... Is hiding the fact that she did this by going to college for absolutely free.. And wasn't going to mention that until she got called out on it. So was this done in good faith to uplift anyone? Or just stunt on people and leave out how it was your momma's hard work, and not a predatory student loan...
But ok... that's a minor issue... But when black people point this out, and then bring up how they can't just save like this cause they have loans.... Does she give them good advice on how to avoid that or other methods for school? NOPE.... Just lets everyone know that if she didn't get free college, she simply wouldn't have gone and been just as successful...
Ok so now the message is what? If you gotta pay for school, just say fukk it and open a business huh? You just know you'd have had the same success huh? So why go if it's free anyway... Seems you wasted 4 years that you could have worked more 80 hours
But again... lets ignore all that... What got me was when people were upset about how she was coming towards them, explaining their points, and she got on some YOU PEOPLE type shyt... Basically saying if you went to college on a loan, you a dumbass
I didn't even go to college and I was disgusted already. Telling black kids and graduates that they dumb for not going along with your plan... Even though the first step of your plan was going to college.
She tweeted that shyt to help her self esteem that day... Just read the first tweet to yourself in the mirror... Sounds like some self help shyt.. Like she trying to tell herself that she's happy.. I know happy rich people. They don't come off like this. They don't feel the need to expound their success onto you, tell you how happy they are, then shame you for trying it another way.... and not a dumbass other way like selling drugs.. But shame you for going to college on some "if I had to pay, i'd never do that dumb shyt, but it was free so I soaked it up........ But you're a dumbass"
There's no happiness there
So she flexin' on nikkas becuz she got to go to top 100 school in the country for free.
Good for her but too bad she doesn't understand how obnoxious she is. She's 41 but has the mindset of someone that's 21.

60-70 but realistically I wouldn't hit 80 unless I worked weekends. 60/7 = 8.571 which is very do-able.
I've done 60 hour work weeks, it's definitely do-able if you don't have any other responsibilities or side hustles.
If I'm not getting at least 7 hours of sleep and an hour to myself one day outside of work it ain't worth it.
Productivity goes down with a lack of sleep and that much work.
I'm interested to see what type of work she did. Does she have a book, any interviews?

Temple University is top 100?
It’s close (104) but it’s a very well known name in a top 5 city so it goes far. A company like Ameriprise (where she started) in Philly is probably loaded with Temple, Nova and UPenn grads.
My cousin Vanessa graduated from Temple in 2014

Just because you graduated from a top 104 University doesn't mean it'll help you land jobs and more opportunities.
Hiring managers don't see Temple and go
"BRING THEM IN FOR AN INTERVIEW!"Edit: Just looked up my University and it's in the 60's. HR and recruiters are more worried about your degree.

What type of work is it?
I know two guys that worked from 6:30 am to 7 pm monday to friday (sometimes till 11) and also worked weekends (8 hour shifts only).
And it was a manual labor warehouse job too.
Me personally, I'd have a headache heading home after 7pm or be so exhausted all I would do is chill in bed or sleep as soon as I got home.
6:30 - 5 was fine for me though. And then sometimes I'd work weekends so that'd be 68 hours in total which was totally do-able.
