You know the economy is bad when Wall Street banker's girlfriends are complaining about their lives. Here's a day-in-the-life of members of Dating a Banker Anonymous:
They shared their sad stories the other night at an informal gathering of Dating a Banker Anonymous, a support group founded in November to help women cope with the inevitable relationship fallout from, say, the collapse of Lehman Brothers or the Dow’s shedding 777 points in a single day, as it did on Sept. 29.
In addition to meeting once or twice weekly for brunch or drinks at a bar or restaurant, the group has a blog, billed as “free from the scrutiny of feminists,” that invites women to join “if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life.”

Let me break out the world's tiniest violin and suggest they DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE with their lives instead of leaching.
Easiest. Comment. EVAR!
I think the same comments there apply here. Which is to say, their selfish entitlement-based self-pity mewlings annoy and infuriate anyone with any morals.
Anyone?
Glad I don't live there anymore.
Some of us are just trying to survive. There should be a ban on this drivel...on the web and in the papers. (BTW, New York Times...shame on you for covering this crap!)
