Just wanted to post a quick recognition for Shea against anyone who might disfavor her perspective in the comments: She is one of the hardest working people I know. As her friend I’ve watched her work her way from a $10/hr position at the restaurant we both used to work at into graduating with a degree in the field she is passionate about. She moved halfway across the country so that she could do the work she loves and help people overcome addiction. I have yet to meet someone our age more money-conscious and meticulous about budgeting. Cost of living is expensive, period. This is coming from someone fortunate enough to have secured a state government position (of which I am grateful every day);whose job is in an area with high rent and taxes, and struggles with the same day-to-day financial stresses (and I’m a Dunkin’ girl -Mass born-and-raised! -ONCE a month). I hope the anyone who does not agree with her words can understand that while you don’t have to; they’re still going to be to be said.
