We've heard it before: "Why, when I was your age, I could go to the Abbot and Costello picture show for just 36 cents."
In college you'll find out--and most of us know, oh gosh, do we already know--that textbook prices are outrageous. Say "so long" to the days of $3.59 Berenstain Bears, and say "hello" to $200 Analytical Chemistry.
We might think we have it pretty sweet here in the U.S. We have the most money of any country in the world… right? Actually, we rank 11th in per capita GDP, behind Norway, Singapore, and Kuwait. Then we must have pretty good health care!
I saw my first 3D movie over the weekend, the animated Despicable Me starring the voices of Steve Carell (The Office, The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Will Arnett (Arrested Development), and Jason Segel (Fo
