    In the Vietnam War, you could stack up student deferments like our two most recent presidents.

    Even a low income person such as myself could get a student deferment, but agreed that the cost of concocting a bone spur might be more expensive.

    I suppose there are minimum security prisons for low risk white collar criminals, but having expensive lawyers would be a big advantage for the wealthy.

    Catherine, why not donate them to a charity to be raffled off in a fundraiser? They make the money, someone who wants to see the show gets the tickets, and you get a tax deduction (maybe?)? Everyone wins.

    I have no problem paying for something I want or to do something I'd rather not do. Lots of people pay for someone to clean their house, cut their lawn, etc. But being a frugal thrifty person, I'd probably do most things myself.

    As someone who has been looking to buy a house for over two years now, apparently all cash money is the only way to get one in many areas. I have been flat out told by realtors not to bother unless you have cash in hand.

    Here many are paying cash but my offer was accepted because I was putting down 65% and my house was in escrow. I actually didn’t choose the cash offer for my house because they offered 50k less than my highest offer.
