She takes home $2300 a month *after* taxes. That must be above the median salary in the USA I imagine.
Then there is this "Rent runs $750, and the full monthly payments on her student loans would be about $700 if they weren’t being deferred, which would not leave a lot left over"
So she's paying $750 in rent, leaving $1550 a month...and she's still not paying her loan to try and reduce debt? What's she doing? Bathing in champaigne? Even if she was paying the debt, she'd have $850 a month leftover, which seems plenty enough to live reasonably. And that's without getting some extra work, or moving back home.
So really she's just bitter that she can't live like a Queen, due to overpaying for a useless course that she wanted. Sounds like a lot of UK journalism and media studies, or French psychology graduates.

Rent and Bills probably run her to 950$, if she owns a car, maybe ... 200$ for insurance and gas (let's say she commutes), 200$ for food, 700$ for her student loan and she's still only looking at 2050$. She's clearly not budgeting her money right ... I mean, I pay 650$ a month in rent, if I was making 2300$ I'd be putting a 1000$ in the bank every month, maybe more on some months.
