I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine.

But I'm currently attending another university, working on an associate's degree. Go figure.

Also, I got it on last night. That's my typical Friday. Gettin' paid and gettin' laid.

How do you get her to pay you? I tried that once and my girlfriend at the time slapped me.

Since he's currently a stay at home dad, I can only infer that she got paid (and by that I mean from her high paying profession, her being a doctor and all) and was so joyous when she got home that he got some nookie.

that's pretty much how it went down.

Seriously though, as far as college goes I had a little help from my parents and I took out loans for most of my tuition. I worked for the university while I was a student, that money was used for "spending money" (clothes, going out, etc). I just finished paying off my loans with my last tax refund.

My wife had a scholarship - really made me wish I had worked harder in high school.

I had scholarships, grants and my parents help.

Went to a local community college for a while to get the rest of those annoying mandatory classes out of the way (I was in the Duel Enrollment program in High School, so a couple of them were already covered). The scholarships paid completely for that, books and all (Yay!)

Then I went to Flagler with the help of Bright Futures, FRAG (Florida Resident Access Grant) and the Florida Pre-Paid Collage plan that my mother was smart enough to sign up for the year it started. We ended up just having to pay a little extra, plus living expenses, which for me was rent and food. And if you couldn't tell from my posting habits, I'm a cheap-ass (except when it comes to toilet paper), so there were weeks I only spent about $20 on food. For a while there I think I lived completely off of vegetable soup and peanut-butter sandwiches.

Ivy league can pay for itself fast. All depends on the individuals goals & connections.

Remember a lot of kids @ Harvard had parents paying more for their high school/prep school tuition than I paid to attend a large, tier 1 public university. To them, the price tag isn't bad.

Different world than you & I live in... for some. In my college scenario... my parents busted their butt, I lived in an old house, worked 30 hours a week, took 12-15 hours of classes, applied for academic scholarships, received some scholarship funding, ,& took out only what loans I needed.There are also young adults doing the same @ Harvard, relative to their situation & their family income level.

My loans are worth every penny, the end product was also worth the time spent & sacrifices made back then. Sure there are ppl in electrician school making similar sacrifices.

I have $35K+ in student loans for getting a liberal arts degree. Don't be me.

Although, they haven't required any sort of payment from me in like two years. Go figure. I reckon the government will come take me away at some point.

I wasn't going to post here, but somewhere along the thread it was suggested that pulling out would avoid having babies. DON'T DO THAT!
There is sperm going out before ejaculation and although I presume just from the smaller count it decreases the chance of fertilization, it isn't nearly as "safe" as condoms/pill. In fact if you really don't want to have a baby, it is best to double up on condoms + pill.

The pill is particularly a good idea because it is a backup in case you get too drunk or too "passionate" and forgo the condom in the moment.

Inform yourselves sufficiently and use effective contraception.

Yes I know, but I'm pretty sure that the kind of morons who get wasted cause they are too chicken to have fun while sober and fuck strangers without a condom, are also the kind who think it's funny to just fully cum inside, that's why I said "pull out", but I guess your clarification is important.
