If AIDS, crack, or the Bomb didn't get ya, there was always no jobs after college to dissuade you from trying.

No regrets, really. We'll certainly get taken advantage of when our minds go, someday, with no family advocates. But, we can always choose to cut out early with a long walk off a short pier and no one will notice, so it's freeing too. Made life more affordable than subsistence, and it will be easier to shake this life on the way out, too.
