Easy enough in the '70s and '80s became more challenging in the 1990s, difficult in the 2000s and improbable without support or debt in the 2010s. Inflation adjusted costs would be 15 X as high today as those paid by you or Marcia. It must be frustrating for the young to be lectured to match the Oldsters' prowess by people whose costs were less than 10% inflation adjusted and who also sucked more than $300K in benefits than they put in.

When you hear people who graduated college in the 1970's or 1980's say "If I did it, then you can do it" all you can do is point this type of thing out - but all too often it falls on deaf ears. Bernie gets it.- the GOP does not.
