People couldn’t believe this entitled debt repayment story was touted as inspirational
Business Insider very helpfully shared a story of how one woman got herself out of debt, clearing her $220,000 worth of student loans over just three years.
🌹Erica, the white trash socialist🌹™️ shared the important details on Twitter, and we’re very grateful, because it’s an inspiration to us all.

Now all we have to do is go back in time and get rich, generous parents – sorted.
Twitter did not find it inspirational.
😂
If someone was to give me a free place to live and then another free place to live so I could rent out the first place, I too could get out of debt 🙄 https://t.co/stJ9N6rr76— Sandy Hilton (@SandyHiltonPT) August 7, 2020

The fact that this was written unironically blows my mind. https://t.co/n9IsKVCcnn

One woman, who seemed to be serious – judging by the rest of her tweets – bought into the idea that this was an inspirational tale.
perhaps you guys should read her book…I'll bet you'll find out how she did it. Not looking for a handout, Not being self-centered, Not being afraid of working hard….and being willing to drop personal space (living with others, etc.)

She was – as the cool kids say, apparently – ratioed, but these couple of responses sum up AnnMarie American‘s notifications for the hours after she tweeted.
Oh Ann Marie…. her entire plan to pay off student loan debt revolves around her parents paying off her student Loan debt

“Not looking for a handout”. Ma’am. Her mother gifted her a free condo, and she lived with her parents/grandparents for free. What is that if not a “handout”?

The accidentally left-wing account simply shared the woman’s completely un-self-aware words.
