No joke – The ten most expensive schools in the US will cost you over a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS for a 4-year degree.  The top 5 do that without any inflation increases.  Toss a bit of inflation, a case of natty light or two and a trip to the booktore and all ten will run you over $300k.  

– Or – 

That is:

Netflix for 1,666 years

Starbucks a day for over 164 years

300k hot wheels cars

Over 98k gallons of gas

Or nearly 5k nights out…

That’s silly…
