Nah.
I was riding thru the mountains near home the other day, and 
noticed some land for sale. Which got me to thinking....

If I had gotten a job pumping gas instead of going to college, 
and had used that tuition money to buy a few acres of 
land each month,  I would now be facing retirement with a net worth 
somewhere between $50 and $100 million. 

If only I had known that when I was 20...
