Atlanta Radio: Millennial Says She Wasted $90K College Fund


Atlanta-based The Bert Show on WWWQ 99.7 FM Q100 had a guest on this week who has managed to incite the rage of just about every millennial in the state of Georgia and beyond, the show is syndicated in 11 states.

According to Yahoo News, 22-year-old college junior named Kim, who did not give her last name on air and was allowed to use a voice disguiser to even further shield her identity, came to the three hosts with a confession: in just short three years she had managed to blow through a $90,000 college fund left to her by her grandparents.

Kim has one year left of school and no way to cover her remaining $20,000 tuition balance.

What followed has to be one of the most painful interviews that has ever been aired on radio.

Kim manages to personify just about every parent’s worst nightmare — an entitled 20-something who asks for handouts rather than face the very real financial challenges of young adulthood. You can listen to the full interview online at TheBertShow.com.

Yahoo News reports what’s most infuriating about Kim’s situation: Not only is she admitting that she had — and squandered — a $90,000 college fund that was supposed to cover her college expenses , but she completely lacks any remorse. She says she feels "stressed" but not once does she seem grateful for her good fortune or ashamed about blowing it in three short years.
