It's also a factor of what you choose to do in life. I don't know your specific circumstances - but as an attorney you probably took on a heavy debt load that adds bills that many others don't have. Many lawyers I know are chronically underemployed - and yet many more are going to school to compete with that diminished pool.
Other than perhaps older parents are dependents a choice for most to take as dependents? If so - a non-financially-productive dependent is like a second mortgage - but it was a chosen one.
- sandworm101 11y agoI actually saved up a small pile before law school. With a scholarship I graduated without student loans. I have no dependants and that was a choice by me. But I have had many clients for whom having children wasn't much of a choice. Even if it were, circumstances change and they cannot be cut away like an underwater mortgage.
- Artistry121 11y agoCongratulations! I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time finding clients. Good choice for now - at least financially. As to "not much of a choice" that may be - but it was a result of forseeable consequences that were known before.
