Lanky, you don't know me. You don't know my financial situation, you don't know my past experiences or current responsibilities. So why do you feel that you are in the position to tell me how I should/ shouldn't handle my finances. I would like you to drive 50ish miles/day on a motorcycle in nebraska in sub zero temps. The last I checked 50 bucks a month is far from expensive for a phone bill. And believe me, I have had several used cars that get good mpg.. 5 to be exact. All of them lasted me for no longer than a year and a half before something went wrong that would cost morre than the car was worth. I bought a yaris not for luxury, but for the peace of mind of having reliable
mode of transportation.

While it may have been an exaggeration that I would HAVE to drop out of school, its still not your place to say what I should do with my life and wether or not I deserve to get a degree.

If I would have known that this thread would have turned into some random guy trying to be my money coach I never would have posted. So please, share your opinions reegarding the topic, but keep your opinions about MY LIFE out of your posts.

Again, sorry for any poor grammar because this was posted on my 100 dollar phone that I pay 50 dollars a month for.

An steve, thank you for being more level headed and reasonable regarding my post.

Not trying to be your money coach... as you've pointed out, there's no money in it for me. What I was getting at was either you were being overly-dramatic or not very bright.... and like I said in the first post... I didn't believe you were that helpless (read: I didn't think you were dumb, though it seems your determination is in question).

Nobody needs a sob story from an overly dramatic person about "what ifs". It doesn't do anybody any good. However, if you are going to do it... please add some kind of note or tag so we the readers know to disregard everything you say as crap. A common tag for example is [full of crap] write story here [/full of crap]

Adding to hysteria senselessly is never good for a population...net based or real life based.

oh... and i really like the "you don't know me"... you're not the boss of me mentality. It helps to put an age on you...

Yeah, I know i'm coming off as a dick, I know that, and yet my point still remains... be legit and speak the truth, or don't speak at all.

now, I gotta go... have an IEP meeting to run.
