Cheese

So my brother's friend, Mark, is graduating this semester from Western Michigan University with a bachelor's in Business Administration. Thats all fine and dandy but the point of the story is the gift that his parents are getting him. It's not a handshake or a frame for his diploma. It's not a new expensive laptop or even a car. Those gifts pale in comparison to the one he's getting.

His parents will be giving him a check for $225,000. Yes, that's not a typo. The soon to be pampered alumnus is getting close to a quarter mil. From what my brother said, his sister got the same thing when she graduated from Michigan State University a few years ago. She, like he is expected to do, bought a house with the money.

Must be nice.
