HA! I said retire in 25 yrs too. That's the age they will give me the SS money, but certanly not my goal.

I remember being a late teen and in my early 20's and getting a job wasn't a thought. I worked at UPS with my best friend when I was 19 and home for the summer from college. He and I both hated it! We quit on the spot one morning and walked out together. On the way home we stopped by J.Crew and put an app in. We asked could we talk to someone then. The HR mgr came out interviewed us both right then and hired us both on the spot! Crazy right? We quit a good job and got another on the way to his house to get drunk and hang out. The pay was $11/hr and that was 1990. Companies are still paying that now and think it's a fair rate to load trucks and do hard blue collar work. Thank God I continued and educated myself.

Aghhhhh the good ol' days
