Yes, I'm 24, have a BS. I've been married since I was 21, and we've paid our own way through college and still live very comfortably.

Me too...my parents quit helping me about 3-4 years ago. It was my decision to help them out. I mean, having a kid in college is more expensive than a car payment when you add insurance, living expenses, and tuition....no need for them to have to absorb that when I'm perfectly capable.

Oops....I'm 23, I turn 24 Aug 7.

I'm 25, but I was paying my own way when I was 24. I live in a suburb of Kansas City, KS and I make $50k/year before bonus. I paid my way through college and currently pay $200/month on school loans. I also bust my arse to get to $50k from the $37k I started at 2 years ago. My rent is just under $700/month and I live with lots of other people that are around the age of 25 (younger and older) that pay their own way. My roommate makes $35k and drives a '99 Acura that's quite nice.

That guy can svck my balls, all due respect. If he was my neighbor, I might report him for silly sh1t just because he's obviously a d1ck.

I'm curious if it is really only .012%.

Now tell the truth!

You must be a math major or something. :roll:

So, if it turns out to be closer to .013%, do I get flamed? :p
No, you get flamed for being a pr1ck.

I understand that your neighbors should piss off when it comes to a little noise, but if it is excessive, then buy a house and your problem is solved. Surely you can buy a house in your area for slightly more than $700 a month.

But blaming people who are younger that obviously DON'T have nice cars is just ridiculous. Stop being a generalizing moron.
