rich v. poor

in the novel, austen has her character charlotte make choices motivated by money. while it's easy to condemn charlotte b/c of her choice of husband, i completely understand why she choose the ridiculous man, collins.
it's not easy when you have to make decisions based on money. i went to college in florida, and decided to move back home because it was cheaper to pay in-state tuition and live at home. i would rather be in florida, though. all my friends are there and the climate is amazing! (i hate cold weather). but i can't afford to stay there, so i moved back here.

I agree. Life is so much complex than we often realize. Our choices are not as easy to make as others may think when they are.

It is understandable to have to make sacrifices for the long haul. Money will come. That’s a smart decision.
