Fwd: KPMG student poll

[jmage at panix.com]

maybe these students know something about price history.  if they have life
expectancy of 50+ years, and if inflation over the next 50 years is the
same as the last fifty, they expect to be worth about $150,000 1999 dollars
by the time they die - a studio condo in manhattan. not totally
unreasonable.
