    Pfft, $41300 wouldn't even get me one year of Drexel. My debts will be about $300000 if I didn't get any scholarships.

    Not saying it would get me the whole way by any laughable stretch of the imagination, but if I had the clink on hand that's definitely what I'd put it toward. As it is, I can't seriously muse myself with the notion of college, not with where I'm at in life right now.

    Buy for $10,000.

    Sell for $40,000.

    Use the money to purchase a DMC-12 Delorean from eBay, go back in time and purchase 50 copies of Stadium Events.

    Sell these for $30,000 each (the price goes down because you're flooding the market, see? )

    Go back in time again.

    Cause the universe to collapse and rebuild itself when you are forced to engage in mortal combat with past Quiji in order to secure a 51st copy of Stadium Events, resulting in an alternate future where I speak fluent Swahili, eat food through my urethra and don't attempt to gouge my own eyes out every time I forget to change the channel before PhoneShop comes on E4.

    Thanks a lot, you dick.

    Seeing as how I'm starting school again on Monday for my trade, I figured putting a good chunk of change towards a mortgage would be a good idea. As much as I would love to go and get a degree, I can't think of anything that I want to do right now. And seeing as how the union is paying for me to take this course... Might as well.

    Time travel ruins everything.

    Now what I would do is buy 20 copies of Stadium Events in the past. I would travel into the future where it's worth $40000 and stop time. I would locate and destroy every copy I could find, meaning demand would go up while supply goes down. Sell it for $80000-$100000 each every couple of years since the value would decrease as I sell more and more of them.

    Now to invent time travel.

    Oh I agree entirely. Was just saying, if I had the money that's probably what I'd put it toward myself.. You've got a kid and yea, a mortgage to pay off. Priorities and all that~

    I guess the concept of time travel is already science, and probably even a method of time travel is theorized. Worm holes and such. I guess I need to just invent technology to harness the power of worm holes in a contained environment with complete control.

    Now THAT is hard.

    The mortgage isn't mine yet, but in a few years I plan on applying for a mortgage. And when I do, this unit is worth approximately $150K. And I would buy this unit. (All of this has been discussed with the landlords, who don't want to hold onto this place for too much longer. I am essentially their last tenant, so if I can also purchase it off them, it would be a load off their minds).

    And yeah, having a kid kind of changes my priorities. Even being away for a month to go to school is going to be hard. And I have to do the same thing next year.

    Gare so, so much.

    I think Fer felt pretty bad for me too, at the time.

    I don't remember exactly how long I was around before I got Retro'd, but I got my staff position in about 10-11 months.

    I even volunteered for this list nonsense.
