[quote=scaredyclassic]the rich plumber is kind of a cliche, but goshdarn, we were talking to this plumber who did some work in our house the other day, had a couple helpers, and his combined take home (he couldve been exagerrating but i doubt it) was greater than my househole income.

the bigger question is not which rental to buy, but why college?

maybe the money shoudl be put into starting a small business not for the poster, but the kids…

a real plan involves making kids selfsufficient.[/quote]

Actually, one of my neigbhors thatowns a dental practice says he’s seeing dental students that are graduating from dental school with $400-500k in student loan debt. Catch 22 is they won’t be able to have their own practice for some time since lenders won’t want to lend to them if they are already in the $400-500k hole… And working for another dentist won’t let them pay off that loan quickly either…
