I've bought all my gear myself, and am working third shift at UPS in Louisville to pay for school. Mom and Dad give me no support for any of this, school OR climbing. What I do have is time. Aside from working 2 jobs, I volunteer with FoMV and the Coalition as much as possible. I worked 2 shifts at Rocktoberfest, am starting to attend Coalition meetings, and am at Muir most weekends as well, as a steward. I can't afford to throw down the big bucks like Dr. Bob or Rick and Liz, so I give my time. I know I'm in the minority, and it blows. Access isn't a right, it's a privilege.

Regarding the math, as long as the distribution curve describes the relative contributions from each group it is all good. The total just describes the sample size.
• As to the rest of your points, during my education I have actually had to be homeless for four months straight. I slept at the University in Lounges and in my lab. I had the janitor schedules dialed to effectively avoid them. During this time I still managed to drink beer now and then. I know that most young people do not have money falling out of their butt ends.
