think how many Coach bags she could buy, if she were minded to do so!

Lol! She's minded, all right. She actually bought herself a small Coach wristlet with some of her recent earnings. She's not untouched by the pleasures of material goods - I think it's more that she feels she could never keep up with the Joneses at Vanderbilt, but isn't (yet) at a place where she sees how little the Joneses matter.
I've read ER's posts often - he's one of my favorites posters, and it would be neat for my d to be on the same campus with him and similarly insightful, terrific students. I don't mean to stereotype any school as a a rich kids' college - was more summarizing my d's impressions. Thanks for your thoughts!
