We have two kids in school, spend 35K/year and figure we're getting off cheap. No loans, no aid, just tuition management taking a few thousand out of account on the 10th of every month. No new toys, trks, ect for a few years, but I still think it's a wise investment; at least what I have seen throughout life.

Our kids work every summer but what they make in 2-3 months won't even cover a semester. Not much you can do if you're White working class folks but pay, pay, pay.

Well, I did the same. But it took me 8 years, with work and all to finish. Got through 3 but that last year was a real bear, as I’d exhausted what I had saved up.

It’s tough when you’re 21 in the centre of the recession out there, looking for a job to finish up your schooling. I ended up eventually moving back and enrolling in an entirely different school. But I finished with zero debt.

You’ve seen how well the economy has done since 2000. That’s been my whole working life, so thanks boomers. Really appreciate what you’ve done. 12 years later, still hoping, still praying that the boomers will be done giving us the shaft so that we can finally move on with our lives.

But we shall see. The lineup of Newt - Romney - and the O, means another wasted 4 years. What a pity.
