JUST HEARD LAST WEEK ABOUT THE YOUNG LADY SPENDING $3000 PER YEAR FOR CONTRECEPTIVES.  THAT COULD BE GROCERIES FOR THE AVERAGE FAMILY FOR A FEW MONTHS.  OF COURSE WE ALL HAVE OUR PRIORITIES.

BEING RAISED DURING THE DEPRESSSION, WE HAD NO FREE MEDICAL CARE, NO INSURANCE, NO FOOD STAMPS, NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES OF ANY KIND. COLLEGE FOR MANY WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION, AND THOSE WHO ATTENDED COLLEGE WORKED THEIR WAY THROUGH AND DID WITHOUT LUXURIES UNTIL THEY COULD AFFORD THEM.  MOST OF THEM PROSPERED AND PROFITED BECAUSE THEY HAD SACRIFICED TO GET THEIR DEGREE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT WAY OF GETTING AN EDUCATION?
