But I asked your number 5 question actually. Because I believe that you will get a good job if you finish college than the ones who didn't. But getting richer is of course another thing.

I agree that college is important - if only for the value of doing something, consistently, for four years. I tell my kids that they have to go to college and get a degree for the education they will receive, not for the paper. I enjoyed the posts - some were laugh out loud funny.

"As many as you'd like". All you have to do is get a job on the boat making animals out of balloons or something. :) There is a good answer to how many cruises someone can take without a retirement fund. “As many as you’d like”.

I mean, if everybody went to college, who would flip our burgers? Who would pick up our garbage? Who would represent our proud states in beauty pageants??? It's a sad irony that our economy would likely collapse if everybody suddenly became college educated. @mbhunter:

Though I don't think the answer to 5 is as cut and dried as you're making it out to be. College isn't for everyone, and there are few people who will advise you otherwise if it's clear that it isn't for you. As for the extended warranty, I got one for one product that had broken on me before, and I did end up using it on the new one I bought. But it was a pain to have the company make good on it, so I probably won't do it again. Funny stuff as always Nick.
