People Can't Believe How Much Money AOC Actually Has In Her Personal Bank Account

In case you didn't know, elected politicians are expected to disclose their income every year.
AOC just filed her 2025 disclosure, and the internet has some thoughts about her personal finances.
Let's look at that disclosure!
According to her filing, she has up to $50,000 in a savings account. On that savings account, which I would have to guess is a high yield (so millennial core), she made up to $1,000 in interest.
She has up to $15,000 in a checking account, and up to $1,000 in a brokerage account.
She has up to $15,000 in a 401(k) plan.
And finally, she still has up to $50,000 in student loan debt from 2007.
Sooo, to summarize, she has at most $66K in the bank and $50K in student loan debt.
Relatable!
A post about those numbers is going viral:

A bunch of people are pointing out just how millennial it all is:
"You may not love her. But you can't deny she's a quintessential millennial."
"I need a president that’s still drowning in student loan debt with me."
"Our most millennial millennial."

Another person joked, "fox news convinced my parents she has $10mil."
And then a bunch of people are like, "DUH this is how it should be."
"8 years in Congress and still has a negative net worth. As it should be."
"We need more members of congress who aren’t worth 7 figures."

"This is what you should expect from an elected official... they aren't there to make money/get rich/free healthcare... they are there to represent US."
"Huh…a real American who understands other Americans."
"Difference between working for the people and screwing the people, which Republicans are great at."

And lastly: "This is what happens when we elect normal people to Congress who have student debt and don’t engage in insider trading."
