Were you aware that most things are free? I had my college SR do a budget
last night- not that we are turning them to the wolves yet- but there is a reason we sent them to college. How much is water? internet / wifi is free- well with a data plan... car insurance just exists- i was amazed. then we went to the paycheck calculator - and it was bewilderment. how do people get money . well

Now you understand why promising young people "free stuff" is so powerful..
Outside of kids who have taken a bunch of finance classes or grew up poor as dirt, huge amounts of college kids have no idea where their lifestyle comes from, how it is paid for or what they will need in order to keep it once their parents aren't paying.

Taxes are paid by others, doctor visits don't cost anything, and
shipping is always free.

and car insurance becomes your bill and goes up 1500 if you don't live at
home- and we prefer you make good on your high school rants about us sucking

So you reenacted the pilot episode of the Cosby Show from 40 years ago?

Didn't realize that was the pilot episode...and probably the best Cosby ep.
