  • With Calvin as their kid, it’s a safe bet they weren’t driving a new car.

    I’m reminded of an exercise we did when I was in 9th grade: “Write down how much money you want to make per year!” What a pointless exercise. I had no idea how much things cost. Inflation is a thing. And I ended up moving to an area that was much more expensive than where we lived while I was in school. I’m pretty sure my first real job out of grad school paid more than what I had written down, but I certainly wasn’t rolling in cash.
