why not Juan?? I worked 3 jobs while attending a prestigious school. Got a lot of it paid for through scholarships etc. With the money from that jobs 1 UC job has a 403B and the other proceeds I put into an IRA. Some stocks I put $$$ into include IBM, Motorola, Apple, Genentech, and Exodus. I spent wisely and invested wisely. I never struggled and never took a dime from anybody. It's again how you manage and leverage your $$ that will get you somewhere. For those who missed the boat, well they should rethink their strategy towards financial independence. If you still don't get it, to each their own.

Josh, my man... when I was in college, with little money, there was no "pre-tax dollars" to make work for me. For many of us (though obviously not you), figuring out if we were going to have enough money to pay the rent was a -- well, monthly occurrence.
I know you work very hard now, and make very good money. Most of us here do. However, if you cannot identify with having to struggle through college with loans and crappy jobs -- you know, the original question, do me a favor... do not post condescending comments aimed at those who did.
