Reading this article while watching Teen Mom, and various episodes of Intervention in the background. I always wonder if whoever pens articles like this for The New York Times, has ventured outside their middle class New York Metropolitan Area background? Yes, they are going to get loads of people like me from New York saying "oh yes, I agree." But I wonder how someone from an area where expectations are completely different, where people often have a home and kids by the time they hit 20 or even 25 see articles like this?
