Questions:
How much of that money is Mommy and Daddy's?
Do you think that figure includes college tuition?
Probably a vast majority of that money is mommy's and daddy's. However remember all of those credit card companies that basically throw credit in the direction of college students.
I'll dig up a link to the website those statistics were from when I get back to my room tomorrow.
Oh yea, peeps, until I figure out the new MT install, I have to approve all of the comments. Again, tomorrow ill look at changing the config so that I don't actually have to do this.
