Humans do amazingly well, despite the fact that we come to this world naked, hungry, unable to speak, and have no manual for operation on arrival. Couple all that with the uncomfortable fact that the people you were born to also have no parenting manual to follow, and it's a real success story

I’m in absolute agreement with you. My point was as my Dad always said when we were school aged people: “Your “job” as it were is to focus on your studies and become educated.” We had to work for spending money, but things that weren’t easily attainable working no more than 20 hours a week at

I'd say depends on the drivers too.  Youngish may mean expensive insurance, but the driver has matured and can drive and care for a decent car.  25 years old is a number that the insco used to use as the arbitrary dividing line, may still be. I would not carry full coverage on a $5k car, but I
