I was kind of the opposite. I made about $16,000 last year before taxes, and at first I was shocked that I made so little until I realized that I had over 2 months without employment, and only part-time employment during the fall quarter.
Then I started wondering how I managed to live on such little money. Good ol' student loans!
well, the upside to living with my parents is not having to wonder how i manage to live on so little money.
of course, the downside to living with my parents is LIVING WITH MY PARENTS.
I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to take another class over the summer or work as many hours as humanly possible at Starbucks and save up some money. I feel like either option would drive me equally crazy.
Money goes away quickly. Don't think you're alone in the Money Management Lack-of-Skills, because that's a problem for most people, including (especially) yours truly. I can tell you where the money went: it's hanging in your closet, it went to Bickford's a few times, your good friend Jose Cuervo borrowed it. One time I sat down at the end of the month and calculated where all my money went that month, and it was mostly food and alcohol.
A $200 round-trip plane ticket to visit Erin ends up being a lot more. Because I justify like $10 in various magazines, $30 for a new DS game for the plane, snacks, a coffee at Starbucks before I go, and probably eating out the night before because I would rather relax.
Same thing when you go to the movies, and inevitably end up also eating out with your friends before/after.
Then again, what is money for, if you can't spend it to entertain yourself?
