30 and younger thread

I hope that's both ways

 

I was planning $1000 in gas. I only make about $450 a month working and $375 a month for rent.

 

how the f do you live?

i was making 1200 a month and paying 300-400 a month back in college.

 

not as bad but still pretty high lol

 

dafuq?

 

That always ends well...

 

dont even get me started...

 

It's all in keeping a tight budget. I have $6200 in my college fund, but $5200 goes to next semester. The rest will go to living expenses along with my pay checks. I don't take out loans. Before I sold my truck I had less than enough money to make rent. Sold it and bought a $2800 4runner so I have spending money and some money in the bank in case.

The way I do it though is I rarely buy beer or expensive food. Eat cheap and don't drink and you can get by pretty easily. $1 a dozen eggs and 75 cents for some hot dogs makes cheap meals. I only buy beef when it's $2.50 per lb or less. Shit like that gets me by.

 

I haz new rule fer mah credet curd....only used w/my gf out

Otherwise I nickle and dime my self on it

 

Somehow my bank gave me a $6000 credit limit on my credit card. I always get it paid off, though, since I don't spend money unless I know I have it.

 

im all for budgeting but that sounds like it sucks, ha.

luckily i didnt have any loans.

but i was making 1200 a month approx spending 300-400 in rent then car payment and insurance which was another 500, the rest went to food (got free food every shift i worked though) and going out to have fun/relax (which is definitely necessary when in college), i never saved much but i wasnt hurting at all.

but to each their own

 

damn dude eff that. when i get back on my feet remind me to mail you some food hahaha

 

I make it work. I like my easy part time job more than the desire to make more money and work all day while in school.

 

this, that seems unreal. I never went to school and times have been tough in the past but wow.

 

I made 500 per month in college. Rent was 225 and the rest went to insurance/phone/ etc. I paid cash for my truck so no payment there. Still had enough for the occasional 30 rack of coors light lol.

 

isn't 4.88's overkill? or are you planning on running 35's?

 

I used to donate plasma for another $60 a week, but the last couple months have been too busy to get back there. But that's my grocery and gas money. Forgot about that.

 

Guess everyone should buy Ryan's armor so he can eat haha
