We have more oil under the U.S. than in the whole of Saudi Arabia. If we don't use it, then we're retards.

I'm married, in college, pulling in intern pay (full time now, only 24 hours a week during the school year) yet I have zero credit card debt, a couple grand in college loans, a couple grand in savings, and I have a couple hundred dollars in surplus savings a month, and my kitchen is fully stocked. All this in Southern California no less. As I said before adapt, plan, keep a cool head, and you can do just fine. Of course I wouldn't be getting the Camaro in a couple years if I couldn't carpool/vanpool, but this way I save time and money
and get to spend more time socializing with some very interesting people. All win and no loss.
