(ECONOMIC STIMULUS): Right Under Your Nose
ECONOMIC STIMULUS: Right Under Your Nose
Every year right around this time thousands of parents in the United States are frantic. They have less than 60 days to transform their ribboned, star-studded, and tasseled graduating senior into a career-minded, focused, driven college student. These parents’ hopes soar with ideas that one day their future Expert in Thus-and-So or Dr. This-N-That will be highly regarded, highly respected, and most important HIGHLY PAID. The road has been long for these parents whose adulthood braggin rights rest almost solely on whether or not Jr. got into dad’s alma mater. And the sheer talk of scholarships simply makes parents giddy with ecstasy. Oh and let’s not leave out probably the most important part of this whole emotional climax; the fact that these budding young professionals who chose (forcibly) to go to college, and got accepted to dad’s prestigious alma mater (after much alumni palm greasin’), will one day be the meal ticket, I mean retirement plan, ooops uhh what I mean to say is these young people will gladly (to the beautiful melody of “after all I sacrificed to provide [blah blah blah]”) supplement the parent’s retirement lifestyle. FOREVER.
But of course, beach houses are nice, but they seem much more luxurious when someone else is paying the note. And why not wait until you’re 60+ years old to get your FIRST convertible sports coupe? And not just any coupe, but only one with a funny Foreign name and better leather seating than the living room furniture your family grew up on, right? I mean really how do you justify ever driving a $100,000 automobile (I think car prices stop around $70,000 now), when just a few weeks ago there was nearly a World War over who was using all the paper towels at the graduation party?
The irony is the same budding, bright college freshmen who witnessed this moronic behavior at their party, suspend all logic regarding their own economic future (failure). When do you start to ask your parents why they didn’t better prepare for the costs of a future they knew was coming? Hello – almost every parent with a 5 year old child will tell you they expect their children to go to college, but these same parents have no practical game plan to PAY for their college. Or how about why is it that even though moms and pops have worked at least 20 years by the time you turn 18, the house is still mortgaged? The cars are still financed? And the family vacation is always 2-4 hours drive to the same beach you went to at 8yrs old? Has it never crossed your mind why even though your parents have been “continuing their education” for the past ten years, they are still worried about job security and still don’t make a combined $200,000 annum? I mean HELLO???? what’s the point of higher education if the income doesn’t go higher, too?
People, WAKE UP!!! If you don’t start to ask some different questions real quick, you just might look up in twenty years and be just like almost every other parent who is frantic this time of year in the U.S. as they take their bright, creative children down the same damn road they went; ECONOMIC RUIN.
