We were bombarded, endlessly, with how difficult it was for a single mother (whose divorce was HER idea, as was revealed in several episodes) to raise two teens on a limited budget. However, when she (miraculously) acquires a six-figure job (and, think of the value of six figures in the 1970s), she STILL lived in the same rundown (or "budget") apartments, and still had to struggle to make ends meet. Sounds like the problem is not with "the system" or with men in general. Sounds like bad financial responsibility.
