“They were not easy years. You have to understand, I was raised in a lovely neighborhood, as was Mitt, and at BYU, we moved into a $62-a-month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income.
$62 in the late 60's is worth about $400 today.
My apartment in college was about the same, $325 in 1999ish, so about $400 now. It wasn't the lap of luxury but in no way did it cause "not easy years". Jesus this lady is a whining spoiled bitch!
“It was tiny. And I didn’t have money to carpet the floor. But you can get remnants, samples, so I glued them together, all different colors. It looked awful, but it was carpeting.
“We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.
“The stock came from Mitt’s father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year — it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education.
“Mitt and I walked to class together, shared housekeeping, had a lot of pasta and tuna fish and learned hard lessons.
If I'm ever well off enough to give my son " a few thousand" 1960's dollars every year for his birthday, which is a few TENS of thousands in today's dollars, I'm going to make goddamn sure he knows how lucky he is, and I would never let him marry a woman so spoiled rotten and out of touch that she would call a few thousand dollars given as a BIRTHDAY GIFT. "not much money"
