@DerrickEvans4WV Agree. Why am I going to give a big company more money to make a tax deductible donation to help them out even more. And what charity? It may not be something I feel like my money needs to support.
@middle_class_us I remember thinking who in the hell could afford $400 per month rent in college. Also, thinking I wouldn’t get to go home to visit because gas got up to $1.20/gal.
But you are right. Most of our generation would have never paid that much for college. We’d just found another job.
@LoneStarChica Because people started overpaying for stuff with credit. Women went to work and one income became two and they had more money to buy a house they didn’t need but wanted.
