It wasn't a waste at all. I've learned how to cheat the system. The only bad thing is that I won't be getting much on Social Security when it's time to retire since I only report about $9,000 a year of taxable income.

But the great thing would be getting medicaid when I retire. FREE healthcare!!! It's great to use my education (that you paid for) to cheat the system to get free healthcare in the future (that your kids will be paying for).
