    The best free advice I ever got: When I was 24 & got married we lived paycheck to paycheck of course & usually had to wait until very last second to pay bills, etc. But my husband always said, "Pay yourself first" (Before the bills). I said "Huh?" 1/2

        Unless of course you have two kids in very expensive colleges paying full boat because you were a tad successful in your career.

        When I was young if you couldn't pay your own tuition...you didn't go...an incentive to work and save

        Got it Bill. How many free rides are given to colleges today? Any idea. How many free rides are given to people that have the financial means on paper? It is a very small percentage.

        My daughter was fortunate to get into one of the top 15 schools in the world (as rated by US News). When I received the notice there was no financial aid I called the school. They literally chuckled at me for asking for financial aid because I made $150K plus.

        Dems & colleges co-conspire to fleece parents savings by setting the statutory limits for financial aid...extorting the educational future of your children...while still being grossly over-funded from public coffers Obama nationalizing the student loan program the last straw
