Concur. I’m an English major from a small private (read expensive) university who graduated with a fair amount of debt. When I was 18 I couldn’t imagine my life at 22, all I cared about was having four years of fun and getting an education along the way, thinking I’d figure out paying off the loans when I had to. I then taught for a few years and changed careers because I knew $45,000 per year for the rest of my life wouldn’t cut it. Looking back on it, I would have never given myself the money had I been a lender, except for the fact student loans are almost impossible to get rid of since they are immune to bankruptcy, and in some cases, death.
This thought just occurred to me so I might be way off, but are there any other loans out there for intangible collateral? I guess a business idea could technically qualify as that but in what other situation does one walk into a bank and essentially say, “Give me money, and oh by the way, I have absolutely zero proof that I’ll be able to pay any of this back at any point in my life.”
Good point about it being for the friends. Groom gets to chose one (1) daytime activity and the location of the nice dinner. Other than that, all in attendance can do whatever they want whenever they want.
I’d just like to take a moment to congratulate the PGP Intern on all these comments. Mid-20’s must be some kind of record. Maybe Will and Dave should take you out to lunch today or something.
Shambles, what are you thoughts on young black guys rockin the stache? Only certain white guys can pull it off. Can any young brothers wear a Steve Harvey-esque lip warmer and not look ridiculous?

Is your name some kind of pun, or did you just spell it wrong?
If Will Grose had procreated in Brooklyn ten years ago his sons would be named Asher, Hayden, and Chase.
What about people who #theirkidsname?

My wife loves it. How much so kind of scares me.
And they fired her per multiple outlets I won’t link to here.

You’d think this guys’ back yard raises property values. He can be my neighbor any day.
Anxiously awaiting tomorrow’s update: “Ranter Girl Fired from downtown Chicago PR Firm”
ATLGuy? Is this you?
I’ve yet to have an unenjoyable dinner for one at the bar, be it airport, neighborhood joint, or away on business. It’s awesome.
Floyd, for the record I charter Southwest Airlines Wanna Get Away deals and sometimes splurge for the early bird check-in.
Please don’t call for a remake of Caddyshack. You ever seen Caddyshack 2? Lastly, lunch for the intern today or what?

Except a happy husband.
Word is this guy is a youtube “star” and is known for pulling fake pranks like this.

Strong had a $10.7MM buyout so he did okay this weekend. His assistants on the other hand…….
Is this a repost? Video came out roughly six months ago.
