    Lol well I’m only 28 so i have a few more years on the house!

    Yep, $500 a month at 18 is your travel expense of experiences from 18-30.

    I mean, I’ve been working for 4 years now. I had put everything in savings before even considering something like this. My savings outweigh any debt I have. Im in school with experience in car mechanics and dentistry. I hate saying stuff like this bcuz it makes me sound spoiled but I did work very hard for the past 4 years to do what i do.

    Restaurant service. In the right restaurant, you can actually make some really good smack. General benefits not so bueno, but take-home can be awesome for straight outaschool.

    The price for dentistry school is ~200k, my girlfriend is doing it. I'm confused on what you're doing now

    Car mechanics and dentistry. That's a unique field. So if someone wanted a new grill, how would you respond?

    If you have more in savings than debt, why not pay cash for the truck instead of pissing interest money away
