I was lucky, I graduated from college in 4 years with no student debt. My ROTC scholarship paid for all tuition, books, lab fees, etc. In exchange for that, I was obligated to serve 4 years on active duty.

I served an additional four years, earned my Masters degree through the GI Bill. Paraphrasing Chico Escuela, the Army was "berry berry good to me."

“I was lucky”

No, it was good planning and discipline. My sister-in-law and her hubby are libs and they have a mindset where if you get up and go to work in the morning, that means you are lucky. They can’t drag their butts out of bed, so they are unlucky, and lucky people like me need to support them. I cannot stand this excuse for willful sloth. You make 99% of your own luck.
