The Cosby Show: All about College, Budgeting and Life

Posted on November 2, 2013

Bill Cosby, always the voice of steady reason and reality, something it seems, is sorely lacking in our society these days.

I miss watching this show!

Hat tip to Rockstar Finance for this, J$ (that crazy foo) even typed out almost the entire transcript!!

Sherry of Save. Spend. Splurge.

Millionaire at 36 after getting out of $60K of student debt in 18 months, a little over a decade earlier, using TheBudgetingTool.com. Since then, I have paid my $600K home in cash (my half was $300K), my $180K casr in cash, worked 50% of my career (taking 1-2 year breaks), and quadrupled my income within 2 years of graduating, going from $65K to $260K with an average lifetime savings rate of 50%. I could retire today if I wanted, but love my work-life balance as a freelancing consultant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). I am all about balance - between time and money, and also enjoying my money. I also post daily on Instagram @saverspender.

      @Ariana Auburn: They gave good values without being soft and wishy washy like parents today.

    I loved the Cosby show too! I did feel a bit bad for Theo. Dad could have hugged him or something before he let it rip.

    $400 for an apartment in Manhattan? Those were the days!

    to be fair, I was drinking some beer when I typed it out which of course always sounds like a good idea at the time 😉 my wife started to get concerned after she heard me playing this over and over and over again a good 15 times until I got it all down, haha… It’s def. a good one though! Glad you enjoyed it too 🙂
