<p>Gotta agree and chuckle w/ Erin’sDad! I love looking at Beemers and Mercedes … but I don’t invest much real time gawking at that which I cannot afford. </p>
<p>Ok, for many this college search thing is a one-time, or at least rare life event. With 5,000 colleges and universities, it can seem daunting, especially to the novice. But brain surgery, it’s not. Like courting, there are many viable suitors … and campuses available for most students. But rarely does Eliza Doolittle’s foray into the land of the lucrative result in lasting love. There are parameters that lead to efficiencies. Real estate agents have a term for house-hunters who have no intention of buying. They just wanna see how Mrs. FitsRitz decorates her mansion. A hobby of sorts.</p>
<p>Still, there is some value in looking @ that BMW I cannot afford. I value the lonely bells and whistle my clunker has, and even more so, the reality that I can get to work just like I had that Mercedes absent the 2nd mortgage payment required if my dream were reality. </p>
<p>Figuring value in this morass can be monumental.</p>
