I bought my first CD in 9th grade (8 years ago): _Wish You Were Here_.
Since high school doesn't give a non-spoiled child like me much
opportunity to purchase anything, I had about 60 CDs by the time I
graduated.  Five years later, I have 520.

I used to do that... I sold (gasp!) a lot of those.

Aha!  See, I don't have a credit history.  Believe me, if I had a credit
card, I'd probably have about 300 more CDs than I have now, and I'd most
definitely be in debt.
