Cash, Credit and the story of our student life

Though this isn't the title of the post on Violent Acres that I've come across, I couldn't help but sympathize with the things written there. In this beautifully written post we share a story of the oh-so-familiar problem of shopping, credit line and when our parents finally cut our financial umbilical cord and set us free.

I must admit that I haven't thought about the differences between the affects of credit on middle-class grad school seniors and upper-class. I am all too aware of its affects on me, though, and people who are still in college or grad school should really read this.
