Not to rain on your parade (as if it were a parade), but I would note that you are young, and there's still hope for you if we can turn the economy around with a return of progressive taxation and a major increase in the minimum wage. My generation, however, GenX, is screwn (to put it mildly). I am in just about the same boat you are in, but I'm 46, and I'm about to be un-employable by anyone due to age. Sux to be a GenXer. We will suffer the worst from the trickle-down policies of Reagan and his progeny.
