This is CNBC. This series exists to gaslight people about their finances and the economy. In this article they have normalization of hustle culture and admonishment of her getting a degree based on passion instead of ROI.
In the past it's been used to gaslight readers into thinking their budget problems are solely due to their own inadequacy. They do this by highlighting people who are usually in marginal areas, like disabled people, and show how they make their budget work. Every single article has something like, "lives rent free with parents" somewhere in there. Others have straight up given ridiculous numbers for rent and utilities.
