Looks like I turned out alright? Are you sure? ;-)

Private school on scholarship is a great place to screw up your kids about money... But that's a whole 'nother post!

Now this is an interesting thought, and one I actually agree with to a certain extent. I attended an expensive private school on full scholarship. I was smart. But I was stupid, too. That is, I let myself be sucked into the world of conspicuous consumption that the wealthy kids were able to live in. Only, I couldn't afford it, and my parents certainly couldn't afford it. I had to fund this lifestyle on credit.

I'd say mapgirl's inspired a post at GRS...

Oops. I meant private college. I went to public high school (and grade school). Still, it's enough of an idea for an entry.
