30. I was so sure there was no future when I was in high school

that I didn't even bother trying to get into college. I knew I couldn't pay for it. Now I should probably be glad I didn't, because my financial situation is bad, but I'm not sure it would be better if I had a degree today, and with what I'm making now (or even double that amount) I'd be in a world of hurt if I owed anything to anyone.

Sure would've liked to go to college, though. Still haven't ruled it out... but I'm not going until I can pay for it. At 28, this looks very unlikely to ever happen.
