Being very conservative I came up with about $65,000.
Holy crap! That thought made me almost want to throw up. I could have paid mine and my daughters student loans off, got my masters degree and put myself in a nice home. Damn it man! Oh well. Before I started drinking again, I lived by the saying "move forward and never look back, you can't change the past." I miss that person. I hope I can find her again.
