foundation three boxes with text align links to the bottom of element

For some reason i had the request to align the links in three boxes with different height text, not sure why they wanted them aligned, but i guess my task is not too question that but to fix it. 

I think the best solution to fix this is to set a min height on the lower box sections and then set the links to absolute bottom and this should align the links along one line. 

Move these links to the bottom of the div, i think this makes it look too padded.

Measure the height of the largest box, and set min height on all of the boxes to that height, or a little bit more than that height. 

Set that box to relative, so elements can be aligned to that box. 

CSS

.section-box { 
position:relative;
min-height: 505px;
}

Then set the links to absolute and bottom left, which will align all the links to the bottom of the box which is now set to the height of the largest box, so they should all align to each other. 

This is also why i wrap my box links in divs, so then you dont have to worry about changing the display of the link elements to inline-block and can also make the elements easier to align. 

CSS

.section-box-link { 
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
}

When I realized that, no individual step is hard in any process. Building this airport I'm standing in right now started with a guy writing the architectural plans on paper. That's not hard for him to do. Then laying the first beam isn't had. The whole thing is really hard. So, just take each step kind of piece by piece and when I was able to do that and stop trying to chase this prize and started putting in the work, things just started coming together.
