I just started. 6 to 8 years. Possibly a lot more.


<<<<What are your plans

The Montgomery GI Bill. I will be going to college, payed
for by the
gov'ment. Registered nursing major.

The gov pays it all? I thought it was only some. I trust you
will double check or already know for sure what the deal is.

Nursing, cool. Good money. Rewarding job (well, compared to
most other jobs out there).

Are you doing this while in the Air Force? Even better.

<<<<Do you want a house someday? >>>>


I don't even have to really think about it. The answer is
no. I don't
want the responsibility. I can't stand gardening and I
hate to clean.
I'm more of a smaller condo/townhouse type person.

Perfect. Fact is, houses can be a very poor investment,
given the cost of maintenance and property taxes. People
should only buy a house (or condo) if they want more peace
and quiet, and control over decorating, and are willing to
pay for those benefits. Then they should buy as little house
as possible, like, you bet, a condo. You're thinking
intelligently, FWIW.

I'll be away from
home most of the time (seeing Europe, Africa, Austrailia
etc.) And
Condos are very easy to secure. Just Lock up and leave.

I grew up in Los Angeles. The city where many people
spend more time
inside their cars getting form point A to point B rather
than in their
homes. Having a nicer car than a better house means a lot
to someone
like me. And I do go cruising around town and in the
countryside a
lot. It's like a hobby for me.

True. I can understand this. Cars are fun; cars are cool.
Life is to enjoy, and one should not be too cheap about it.

<<<<Do you plan to get married? Have kids?>>>>


That's another big no. I don't ever want to marry or have
kids. That
would prevent me from doing what I love most. Stuff like
leaving town
on a moments notice. Touring the far corners of the
world. Etc.

God women must be a letdown these days! I can sure attest to
too many unhappy marriages and can understand why people
stay single.

All other comments noted. I see some good posts on going for
less expensive but as sporty cars. If you weigh it all and
still want this particular "fun" in your life, and
understand the tradeoffs, then FWIW it's not at all
necessarily a waste of money. It would be far worse to throw
your money away on wine and cheap women (sic).
