Denise Janus: Ready for rainy day
Manufacturing engineer, 25, Detroit, Mich.
I'm a mechanical engineer for an automotive company and my financial situation is fantastic. I just bought a house and a full-size truck in Michigan, where I plan to stay rooted. (Gas for my truck is at least $300 a month which doesn't make me want to run out and buy a tiny car.)
I made sure the degree I got would pay a salary that met my needs and I worked hard to secure a great job. I worked through college so I only have a quarter of my school loan left to pay back. When I bought my house I understood the terms of the loan and what I could comfortably afford.
I'm waiting to get married and have children because I believe that one of the ways to be a responsible and productive adult in this great nation is to save money and have a secure financial foundation before I bring a husband and children into my life.
I made it a priority early on to have three months expenses saved just in case -- and I'm working on making that a year's expenses. All I can say is it's a rainy day and some people got caught without an umbrella.
I thought this was a man. :confused1: I had to go back and read the persons name again.
That's what makes it shameful... this piece is written by a woman and not a man! And it appears that because she has built up herself (after the manner of a man) she's more than likely going to marry an irresponsible stay at home husband, and more than likely she's going to be so involved with her work she's not going to take any time out to bear the children because she's out busy making the necessary money to put food on the table, something her husband is supposed to be doing!!
