Stepdad refuses to buy 16-year-old stepdaughter $300 shoes and fast food 3 times a week, insists she gets a job to pay for it herself: ‘Now my wife and my stepdaughter are upset at me’

Student loans: Most of us have them, and a lot of them, too. They dictate the financial decisions we make in our daily lives, and continue to do so until we pay them off. The student loaning system sets up many people to fail, especially in a job market that chews you up and spits …
