    Default So - what's your excuse? - Amazing story about an incredible dad and son

    [youtube]Wy8hOOvM0t0[/youtube]

    I know stories like this just yank any excuses *I* have for not achieving my goals right out from under me.

    This father and son duo are both inspirational in their own right - and as a team? Just unbelievable!!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
