Dude, that student loan shit is no joke. I graduated in 97 with my degree...and I just finished paying the loan off last year. ..
.....I was so amped that I framed the letter Sallie Mae sent stating that I had completely paid off my student loans(I know I a dumb ass)..
.... I too am not living the Rock star life...but it's the little things in life like....Porn, Dallas Cowboys and Ohio State wins, Vinnys Brick Oven Pizza, Tower Records and Online PS2 play that both bring me joy and make me die a little inside.....
p.s. I forgot to mention disposal income( what ever defines disposal income)...I don't have pets or children, disposal income is also on the joy/die list....
