first off, appreciate all of the input, but I forgot to put in that I already have close to 9K and the camaro I want isn't exactly "new", It's an 02 z28 for 14K dollars. I'll have it paid off before my senior year even starts. My paychecks make me about a thousand dollars a month, plus at least 200 in tips. I don't have an issue with paying off the car, and I wouldn't even think of getting myself into debt in high school.. I just figured I would throw that in there since it is C5 and all
I definitely like the whole aspect of focusing on not being homeless and jobless though, I unfortunately am the responsible one of my siblings. my sister is currently living out of a hotel, continually getting bailed out by both my parents and me. I know some of you may not agree with lending money to my 22 year old sister, but I'm not mean enough to let her become homeless. she, however, does have 2 jobs and is actually trying.
it's a tough situation, and I just need to do the best I can to keep on top of it. I will be taking the ACT for the first time this spring, on the pre-ACT test i took my translated score was a 31 I believe, and I'm still waiting on results from my pre-SAT. I guess I can always hope that I get scholarships.. I have always tested well, usually into the 97-99th percentile on standardized tests through the years.
