I guess it really depends... I know kids with some great jobs. I have a "volunteer" kinda job... so I get in line for the 2.99 subway... or eat at home.

I personally know SEVERAL independantly wealthy millionaires who never saw a day of college. It's all a matter of how bad you wanna work for the man, or BE the man. I myself, don't personally have the personal drive they all have. They all have psychotic amounts of drive and focus. I can barely focus to deal out a hand of poker, lol. |

Buying groceries instead of eating out is the best way to stretch the food dollar, especially if there's a Costco nearby. Gas really eats the money up, though. |
