Won’t Someone Think of the Wall Street Bankers’ Girlfriends?

Posted by Alex in Money & Finance on January 29, 2009 at 2:10 am

You know the economy is bad when Wall Street banker’s girlfriends are complaining about their lives. Here’s a day-in-the-life of members of Dating a Banker Anonymous:

They shared their sad stories the other night at an informal gathering of Dating a Banker Anonymous, a support group founded in November to help women cope with the inevitable relationship fallout from, say, the collapse of Lehman Brothers or the Dow’s shedding 777 points in a single day, as it did on Sept. 29.

In addition to meeting once or twice weekly for brunch or drinks at a bar or restaurant, the group has a blog, billed as “free from the scrutiny of feminists,” that invites women to join “if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life.”
