Earlier this month, Refinery29 published an article documenting the everyday spending of a 21-year old intern in New York City, who lives rent free, makes $25 an hour, AND receives $1100 a month in allowance from family.

Are the concerns that so many have with this article valid, or do they reflect a general negative view of how millennial women spend their money? Financial blogger Desirae Odjick shares why she thinks the article in question is an important one, despite how cringe-worthy it may be.
