It's always amazed me that some people get to pick which colleges to go to. I never had that option. Until I turned 24, the maximum financial aid available to me was a measly $5,000 stafford loan. There aren't many places you can

This would have been far more convincing if he tried to book the same dates as his friend and was accepted after they said they didn't have anything available on that date. As it is, it's just one of many possible reasons his frie

I agree with most of what you're saying, except for "every single person's money problem is solved with the very simple 'don't spend more than you earn.'" Sometimes it's not being able to earn enough
