All I have to say is I managed. I moved out when I was 18, worked 2 jobs, went to school 22 credits, made all my bills (car payments, insurance on multiple vehicles, rent, utilities, tuition, cell phone, internet, etc.) and still took my girl out a couple nights a week. It all comes down to how much you really want it. If you want something bad enough, you will find away to afford it. Mom & dad can't always make their own bills, and I live on the opposite side of the country, yet I help them out. So please, don't talk about having your stuff payed for, it really causes you to lose a lot of respect around here, because you really don't appreciate anything until you have to work for it.
Thats what I am talking about.
You have worked your ass off to get where you are. You respect things you have and earned them.
Much props to you man.
I work my job. go to school, help my mother with her house, and pay my insurance (my car is paid off) may not look the best BUT ITS MINE. Any mods I do I save the money for and get them done when I can. if somehting more importain come sup the car can wait as long as its in good running order.
