I stumbled accross this page by accident.... but after reading a few posts had to add one. I've been in the Navy (MM), Cooked fine French Food (at $40 a plate in 1985), drafted (ACAD 11-13), worked at the post office (automated letter sorting) and now am medically retired at age 32. I've learned 3 things 1) no matter how much you make, you can always spend more 2) There is no such thing as "common sence" any more because no one has it.... it is now "un-common sence" 3) Most importantly, know were you are going in life, because like the Mexican fisherman story, if you are heading were you already are, then you might as well stay there and enjoy it NOW NOT 20 YEARS FROM NOW.
