I don't want to be a hater of those who rely on social service programs because there are people out there that really need them and I fear that there are people who aren't able to get the help that they want and need because of the freeloaders. My mother and brother live off of social security and that pisses me off because they are somehow deemed "disabled" but they are benefiting from a system that they did not contribute to, or at least barely contributed to. I pay so much in FICA taxes and unfortunately we may not see that money again. Hence the reason why my retirement plans won't depend on that income because it may be bankrupt by the time I retire.

You were a good example to me and when I was finally ready to return to school (albeit I went kicking and screaming!) I knew I had to hunker down and be serious. You did what you needed to do in order to graduate and get a degree that you wanted for a career that you would enjoy. You didn't complain about your family's financial situation and instead took charge and got what you needed to go to school. The fact that you repaid your loans so quickly is outstanding and I want to do that too so my repayment goes toward someone else who is working hard to get an education!
