"She'll Make About Exactly Half What She Made Last Year."

“My sister’s a realtor and if she can sell a few more houses in the fall (best case) she’ll make about exactly half what she made last year. That’ll still be a six-figure gross, but unfortunately she has no savings and has created an extravagant lifestyle for herself with massive monthly payments that will exceed her net income this year. I suspect she’s hooped.  I’m not looking forward to the call in which she asks to borrow money.”
