Hey!  I wear the same pants and t-shirts since high school because they're finally comfortable! Sure, some of the t-shirts are a bit "holey" by now...but a couple of the pairs of jeans still survive! I was the only person at my 10 year reunion who looked exactily the same as they day they graduated  Minus long hair, plus a couple grey ones, plus a very large beer in one hand... |

Well, that about sums up my life during college. I would include number 2, but I didn't date as I was usually broke. After graduation, things have improved remarkably. |

There is nothing on that list that a part time job wouldn't solve.

You know when you are really hurting for money??? Here's my personal experience. - When you've been laid off 2X and fired once in 3years. time. You know you're hurting for money. - When you sell your entire gun collection. You know you're hurting for money. - When you use your life insurance to pay for your auto insurance. You know you're hurting for money. - When you use your retirement accounts for income and deplete it. You are 30yrs from retiring. You know you're hurting for money. - When you take a 66% paycut, and do what is we below your capabilities, and just happy you are working. You know you're hurting for money. - When before you go out you check if you have enough coins to roll so that you have pocket money, You know you're hurting for money. - When you have sold used CD's just so you can buy groceries. You know you're hurting for money. - When you have to look around the house to see what you can pawn so you can pay one of your bills for the month. You know you're hurting for money. - When no matter what check gets deposited to your bank account, its still in the negative. You know you're hurting for money. - When you consider panhandling on the weekends for extra cash. You know you're hurting for money. - When you did not get a job cause your credit was bad. Due to not having a job. You know you're hurting for money. Just reading what I wrote, and you add not having a GF. Man my life sucks right now!!! |

Rename this thread, "Top 10 Signs You're Fiscally Retarded".
Here's some ways to knock up your income: - Cancel your internet. Use a local library - Cancel your cable - Use your new found spare time to get a part-time job, even if it's mowing lawns - Lose the pride... it's holding you back - Sell your car and buy a used economy car - Shop around for gas. - Quit smoking/drinking - Learn to cut your own hair - Shop at thrift shops/flea markets/yard sales/wholesale wharehouses - Buy Ramen by the pallet - Get rid of your pet - Take cold showers - "If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down" - Dress warmer and use less energy to heat your house - Throw yourself in front of a bus |

I'm trying. The medical review board is taking a while to review my physical and medical records. After I get the boards approval, I have to apply, and get accepted, to OCS. Hopefully, I'll be living in Quantico in October. January at the latest. |

Well I look like hell too 10. .97 cents a box mac and cheese is a gourmet I got 5 packs velvetta shells for $3 at Sams the box was ripped open 9. You buy .10 cent packages of ramen noodles and eat them twice a day. I eat the 25cent cups for lunch 8. You ride you bicycle to work cause you can't afford gas Not yet 7. On the way home from work on your bicycle you go by all the local drive throughs and pick up the fallen change. Im sure someone has beaten me to it by 8AM 6. You haven't gone shooting in a long time cause you can't afford ammo I got ammo, gas to range and motivating my self is the problem 5. You have to decide on what to buy, food or textbooks No need for textbooks 4. You have worn the same pants and t shirts since high school cause you can't afford new ones That and I hate shopping for clothes 3. You're so poor the NRA has stopped calling looking for donations Soo poor Im not a momber 2. You take a date out to Taco Bell and think it is good eating Im still above Taco Bell, but I dont get dates 1. You graduated college and still live with your parents. Never went |

Tried that last week, It seems that even though I am 5"9", 160lbs, in great shape and motivated, the Marine Corp doesn't want me. It seems that I'm too old now, at 31. Now, mind you, If I had asked 6 months ago they'd have taken me in a heartbeat because somehow 30 is 'better'. Fuck em. For the first time in recent history the military is looked upon as "a good thing", they now have many interested people that aren't allowed to serve. Rather than stumble upon military service as a HS grad and figure out life from there, I got a career going. Now I want to join the military because my country needs me and they aren't interested. It deosn't make sense... I'm skilled, motivated, have no wofe or dependants, no health issues et. Just sucks. Dave |

From the college days: 1. Your condiments come in small packets from fast food restaurants. I had a friend grab ketchup packets from McDonalds and then spend about 1/2 hour emptying them into a ketchup bottle. 2. You get a part time job in a restaurant so you can get a free/reduced cost food. 3. You often put less than $1.00 worth of gas into your car. 4. You go to keggers with your own cups to avoid paying. Some local keggers charged entry by selling a specific type of cup. You couldn't fill up from the kegs unless you had the right color and style of cup. Friend of mine kept large selection of cups in his car's trunk to match almost any cup/color combination. 5. You seriously consider selling blood to make ends meet. I had a friend working at a research lab and I was offered as much as $50.00 per pint. I have the blood type and food allergy combination they were looking for at the time, but I didn't want to hold to their required diet. 6. You go to a grocery store shopping while hungry and leave empty handed. 7. You pick up ALL dropped change in the street, even pennies in nasty looking locations. |

During spring break one year my buddy and I went to Burger King every day for every meal. Reason: they had the 99 cent Whopper special and that's all we could afford.
Seriously, if anyone has financial concerns they should run out and buy (or borrow from the library) a copy of "The Richest Man In Babylon". It's short and is written as a few stories so it's not dry reading. It will change your outlook on personal finance. |

LordTrader,
Just an aside, but WTF are you bothering with Life Insurance for? You have no wife or kids, do you plan on leaving the money to a deserving school or soemthing? What Insurance agent talked you into life insurance? You ought to beat the shit out of him. |
