I once dated a “trust fund baby.” Though to be fair, she wasn’t a baby, and she pretty well defied all the stereotypes that you might associate with that.
She came from a wealthy family and when we met we were both in college, with her having all her living expenses covered so long as she was studying.
Still, she was ambitious and hard-working, even taking part time jobs at restaurants and drugs stores to earn her own money when the family funding was so easily accessible. I always admired her for that – I was extremely over-busy in college and probably would never have taken a job had I not had to.
But this isn’t everyone’s experience with a trust fund. Here are a few anonymous stories from women.
