    Default Received a RAOK today

    I went to lunch with 2 co-workers and we saw a family with their daughter that had attended our elementary school. We went to check on them, say hi, and see how the daughter was liking the 'new' school she was attending. We are a primary school, grades Pre-K - 1st and she will be in the 3rd grade. Well, they left while we were still eating. After they had left, our waitress comes over to the table to explain to us that our meals had all been paid for by the family. What a wonderful family!! They have always been super sweet and always will be!!! I plan on repaying the favor by doing a RAOK for someone else.

    What is an RAOK?
    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!"
