well, you're the one who mentioned money.
being somewhat older now i would also very much note the need for a

etc for when you can't take care of yourself (or perhaps make any
money).
believe it or not it's a real possibility. I can't believe looking
back how many of my friends never made it past 30.
but here was the actual page that made me stop and think about typekit:

have a good day.
