you're begging a bunch of large questions when you present the "point" that working 60-70 hrs a week over two or more jobs and barely scraping by is ridiculous. as if one could take that at face value. tell me, did you do well enough in school to get into college, pay for college somehow, spend all those hours going to enginerd (or whatever it is you studied) classes, study, getting STD's, and find a way to get into the position you're in now where you can own 2 awful colored bikes and a house, and probably lose half of everything to that girl you're going to get preggers by pulling out too late? did you do all that so you could work 2+ minimum wage jobs and barely scrape by? that was me making a point while begging many small but almost irrelevant questions. i could've made that story about me, but it would've had a lot more "r"s in it.
