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!"

Prepare in any way you can and be safe.
I don't know how close you are to the water, but be cautious. My daughter lives about 1/2 mile from the Sound area of the Outer Banks in Moyock, NC. Very low ground.

Looks like Irene will miss me (whew). We'll probably get maybe a tropical storm or rain from it. I'm about 5 miles from the coast.
Labontet... she may be looking right at it. I pray she will be safe.If You Find Yourself Dancing In The Rain
