I do not feel I'm entitled to anything except for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I want the chance to bust my ***, so that I can prepare for the future. Unfortunately, the baby boomer generation HAS fallen short helping to prepare this country for their childrens' future. I would never in a million years think of leaving obscene amounts of debt for my children to pay off. I'd rather be responsible by living within my means. But, you know the saying . . . You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
