Once college started, I had to quit working to have time to study.
Just hope youngsters (and oldsters I guess too :-) ) here have the right priorities... no need to mention all those... but should include saving for retirement and building a rainy day fund... before buying a new car and a bunch of mods.

I totally understand this! I always try to keep at least 5k in the checking account incase of a rainy day senario and I started maxing out my 401k payments the second week I was hired and I'm only 22!
