Notes:

Unfortunately a panfandom kink meme would be impossible to keep organized, since there are so many possible fandoms to choose from. But since lots of people seem to want some kind of meme: FS anon meme tomorrow?

I always assumed her folks had money. Didn't at least one of them have a ph.d and work as a doctor (this totally could have been a fic)? I figured her parents were off abroad and left her with a full trust fund to use as she needed.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

I think her parents were just professors, so unless they were writing a lot really popular general interest books in the fields, it's unlikely that they were making much money.

Professors make around 70-90k a year, don't they? That is kind of a crapload of money.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm about to apply logic to fandom (and, admittedly, a fandom whose situation in question took place a decade ago), but most full professors make around 70k a year; however, schools don't have a lot of full professors because most schools don't like shelling out that much money when they can have lots of associate or assistant professors who make half that (and more and more are hiring adjuncts who get paid even less). So her parents most likely would have been making good money, but I doubt they'd be really wealthy.

She's the only child of two professionals, no matter what their profession was, and she had the opportunity to metriculate at Oxford. That takes bucks.

But she didn't need to get money from her 'rents, she could have pulled her weight in other ways. Get a part time job or maybe just ease Buffy's load by taking out the garbage, cook for Dawn or do a dish or two.

Actually, that's only where they start. By the time they get tenure, they do much better.

That depends on their fields and their ranks. I promise you there is a nice, wide gap between an English professor and one in a science-related field.

[agnes-bean.livejournal.com]

As a child of a professor and a lawyer, I can tell you it's not trust fund level money, though, which is what someone above implied.

Anyway, it is totally possible that her parents were supporting her and giving her money to pay rent with (and also chip in with the bills, food etc.). If they are two profs, they probably had the money to do that. But there's nothing in canon to indicate that that was happening. For instance, when Willow and Tara told Buffy about her financial problems, they didn't say "we've been putting in money for our room and bored, but we just can't afford to keep the house up on our own." They said, "we used all of your inheritance keeping the house up so far, and now you're out of money. Sucks for you."
