man, lol everyone is always like save your money its the right thing to do ............... Then i ask them why, This is what i see all the time.
Person saves their money all their life, then at 50 when all their kids are moved out and they have nothing better to do so they go buy a 4 + bedroom house ........ when it's not practical anymore, as far as "save it for retirement" thats a whole nother ball game, the question is, would you rather spend the money when your young, or save it for doing stuff when your an old man and won't enjoy half the stuff you wanted to do when you were young!
Lol before I get jumped on by everyone I guess I'll share my information. I am a 22 year old male who lives at home, and I only get $700 a month while im in college. The thing is, at the age of 20 I got diagnosed with cancer, and have been dealing with it for the last 2 years, there are very few people who could have paid for the treatments I got on their own, in fact I would be willing to be no one on here would have been able to pay for it, if something happens.
For example, I have NAVY insurance, The total costs of my Medical care, over 2 million dollars, probably closer to 2.5 million, if the insurance didn't cover it, I would be SOL ......... for the rest of my life lol.
To tell you the truth my philosophy has got to be do what you can do today, and worry about tomorrow when it comes, none of us are guaranteed the future anyways so whats it matter anyways. Its a pretty good ploy to go by, I mean I'm in college now, I don't even know what I want to do, but I'm not really worried about the future, cause you have to MAKE it to the future first.
The greatest speaker I ever heard said this "Don't worry about the past, because thats how you've perceived things to have happened, and the future is what you think is going to happen, so focus on the now, because the now is all you have, and thats all you can control.

well, i paid my mom off with the rest of the money, but now, over the next couple months, the only things i have to pay for are gas, rent, and car payment. so i will have a lot of extra money. next its going to be some progress sway bars, and maybe the RB PCM reflash
