So what when I got out of college in 67 I had on 2k and of course no debt! Of course that was 50 years ago and I did not have jewelry hanging off my eye lid either.

I graduated from university in '69 and had no debt. My parents didn't pay any of my tuition or books. I literally worked three part-time jobs the whole time I was in school to pay my own way.

I didn't have any savings starting off but then I didn't have any debt either. I paid my way as I went and didn't start saving until I got out of the Air Force. But today, I am retired and still debt free and I have substantial savings to fall back on.

Whatever happened to initiative, perseverance, motivation and discipline to make your own way in the world? Nowadays these kids want everything given to them. They think their sugar daddy is the government.

I got out of the military, after 4 years in ‘67, as poor as the snake that didn’t have a pit to hiss in but bound and determined to not stay that way and I didn’t.
