Bandaid Advice

“I’ve tried to like the show, but ultimately the failure to address underlying causes of financial distress means that the advice given is about remediation. The final episode I listened to was about “Emily”, a “single” mom seeking advice. Emily went to an expensive college for a worthless degree, which her parents advised her against. She then switched to community college once she realized her parents were right, but she still had plans of touring the world as an opera singer once finished. Instead she got pregnant, but decided having a child wouldn’t change those plans. She was away 18 hours a day(!!) and left the father to take care of the child. Then when getting a divorce she somehow managed 50-50 custody, even though she was only home 1/4 of the day (I presume she slept at some point). Her daughter has grandparents that spend money on her, and she’s upset that they do, because she can’t. She also wants to set aside tons of money, including a college fund for her daughter so she doesn’t have to work three jobs in college.
The shows advice is sound, in that they tell her to pay off credit card debt first, then save for herself over her child. However, this completely misses what got Emily into this mess and the advice they should give. Child planning should have been the main focus, as Emily obviously was not prepared for a daughter. She hasn’t been present for her daughter, and is jealous/upset about those that have been. Maybe you should’ve waited to have kids until you were ready to fit them into your lifestyle “Emily”, as opposed to shoe horning a daughter in. Maybe you don’t need to save for your daughter’s college because she won’t need to work three jobs to get through college because she’ll know not to have a child while trying to get a worthless degree to go singing around the world. Family planning goes a long way.”
