May I ask where you live?

I'm in a college town. State College, PA. Yes, it's affluent enough to make home ownership unattainable for most. Even amongst the non-students in the area, financially independent young women simply don't exist.

I own a yoga studio downtown and so I must admit that I talk to a fair amount of young women, albeit in a professional setting.

What's weird about my observation? Do you know many young women who are financially independent?

I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.

Yes. We'll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.
