Blonde bimbo

I'm watching a show on Swedish TV called Lyxfällan (Luxury Trap) about people who are spending more money that they're making and sometimes they're so deep in dept they have little chance of ever getting out of it.

Tonight it's about a 23-year-old girl, super blonde and clearly with one thing or another pumped into her lips. And she's not even in debt, she's just extremely spoiled. Her (American) dad is also on the show, and he seems to be the one who pays for her to have the lifestyle that she has. I'm not saying that it's wrong for parents to help their children, I know my mom helps me out a lot, but I certainly don't life a life in luxury.

This girl had her own company and got 2000 euros net every month. For a 23-year-old, that's quite a lot here in Sweden. The thing is that she doesn't seem very bright. How can someone so stupid have a job that pays that well? I'm clearly far more intelligent than her, yet I don't make anywhere near as much money as she does. And how can you be irresponsible enough to spend 1200 euros more than you make every month and still be able to manage your own company?

And how in the world can you spend 15 euros on a cab ride that would take five minutes to walk? I guess I'll never understand that overly excessive lifestyle. I too like clothes, bars and restaurants, but surely life can't be all about surface?
