Re: Today I have...
Once you overspend and have to call your parents to send you money so you can make rent that month or get food, you'll wisen up pretty fast about money. That's what happened to me when I went off to college and was semi-independent after living off my parents (which is great fun), but when I had to call up my parents and ask for some money to help make rent that's when I started to get my **** together.
Also one final point from me on the school thing, high school is mostly BS, I'm completely in agreement with that, and much of college is too, but most of your classes are directly relatable to the work force. If you don't do your homework and breeze through college courses when you go out to try and get a job and you can't remember **** about your degree then you're ****ed and you're gonna wish you put the time into it.
If you find a job that you can slack at and not really push yourself and still make money then that's all fine and dandy for you, but I'd rather stay busy either through being active or learning new things. I'd rather work as a grocery store stocker for 30-35k a year then sit behind a computer and twiddle my thumbs for 100k a year.
