    That money is taxed, and then they buy a bunch of expensive coffees and tofoo. So its not like someone who lives simply making 100k a year, to me I could buy a laptop for everyone in my neighborhood, and still pay bills.

    The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

    I promise you, I have never bought tofu in my life. The odd good coffee, I grant you.

    You're right, I feel so sad and empty to have to earn that sort of money, instead of relying on the lottery to provide it for me. If you won, congratulations. But, seriously.... it's not like you're in a room full of people who will never see that much money in one place. I'm sure most of us are paying off houses for a start.

      Let me know if the burden becomes too much. I have a couple of charities I'm really close to that would be glad to accept a donation ;)

        Big deal, all that matters is that I can drive places, eat, do the things I enjoy, and whatever else. I don't need some big fucking house with plasma screens. All I need is a good laptop, a car, my music, a few cool gadgets, and whatever. I have all that and then some.

          Nor do I, but I like having one. But, that's not really my point. My point is that working, and earning money, gives me the freedom to have things I'd like, to travel, to support causes that matter to me, and, most important, to create security for me and my family. What will you do when you are of retirement age ? I intend to keep working part time, for fun, travel a lot, have money to support my grandkids, and basically kick back and enjoy myself.

              I would have hoped you'd have a saving plan for your first house, at least. I expect to meet mostly smart people, on a programmers website.

                            Not over here. 50K is at best 2 years of a decent private college - probably covers all 4 at a state institution, many of which are excellent, but not the equivalent of MIT, or Harvard, or Boston U.

                                      Take $10k as fun money and do what you want... the remaining $40k you need to invest - and nowhere crap, speak to a financial advisor! - trust me, you'll thank me in ten year's time.

                                        Got through. There are, I believe some consortiums of colleges that allow you to submit a single application for all schools to consider. But again, I think we have something that works in britain, but which wouldn't scale up very well.
