Stuff that keeps me going...
#11
In two years our oldest will be graduating from law school, our second will be graduating from college, and my husband and I will also be finished and walking that summer. I want to be part of that celebration, that's what keeps me going! Not to worry, we won't miss seeing those college bills because our third will only have finished his first year.

See...this is why I'd rather have dogs than kids! No dog of mine needs a college fund. A handful of doggy chow, a couple of treats, a bowl of water, and lots of loving every day...and my dogs are all set.

The day my dog shows up with a bill for his college education, is the day I take him to the POUND.....having said that, the same would probably be true for my kids too.

Have you considered taking your youngest child to the pound Yutzyj? You could save a fortune in college tuition and fees.

What keeps me going is knowing that I am getting closer to my first intermediate goal: a Bachelors degree. After years in the Army, then getting an Associates and working in the private business sector, it will be nice to complete this goal. But then, after that, it will be on towards the MBA in Telecommunications Management and that should be a cool graduate program to be in!

Onward and upward, I reckon.

[SIZE="3"]Don't go too far upward (from Alasaka) or you will find yourself in Santa's workshop in the Northpole and have to work with the elves!!! Big Grin Big Grin [/SIZE]
