Transcript

Should I get a new car or a new job? My parents will let me pick one. No, yeah, I had to pick one. No, yeah, I had a really really boring summer. I only visited three islands and spent the rest of my time in Muskoka. What? Everyone has a house in Muskoka. I'm not rich, you can't say that I am middle class. So what if my house is 4 million? Everybody's house is 4 million. Yes, I'm from Burlington. You have to pay off your credit card, or your parents do that for you? Yeah, I know. The sorority fee is like 10k.
