The author (Talia Jane) has some interesting tweets.

My BS-meter is showing a strong reading after seeing these:

"i’m pretty blindly aggressive against all the manifestations of capitalism so naturally my takeaway is Eliminate The Stock Market: It Is Stupid And Harmful And Archaic And, Perhaps Worst Of All, Boring."

"moisturizing in my 20s like i’m in my 40s with the (pointless) hope i won’t look like i’m in my 50s by the time i hit my 30s"

Here she's offering to help buy some guy a mattress: https://mobile.twitter.com/itsa_talia/status/107409983684723...

Here's she's gone to LA (from New York) for work:

"lemme try this in LA-speak: hey, LA buds! although i’m in town working on a tv project, i’d love to hang out tonight! let me know if you’re interested!"

I'm disappointed someone would down-vote this. Sincerely: Why would you do such a thing?

In my thinking, this author does not seem to be living the life of a poor person trying to save.

If you downvote, please share your point of view. I'd really like to understand.

I mean, who wouldn't have trouble saving after Eliminating the Stock Market and perhaps "all the manifestations of capitalism"? Because isn't that what capitalism is all about? Saving, and accumulating some capital, some seed corn, so that you don't have to live hand-to-mouth?
