I understand all the unpredictable variables, but dang 150 grand seems like an awful lot to me. I think there are a lot more economical ways of getting that done. It's been a while since I finished, but I spent a fraction of that. I don't know.... Maybe everything tripled since then, but I'm wondering how I would even pay that off in a timely manor on a captain salary
