Re: Another financial thread
I'll graduate this spring with a double major in Finance and Managerial Economics. I'll have $17,000 in subsidized student loans to repay. I've never had a credit card, my car is paid for and has been since i bought it, at any time I could sell it for nearly double what I have into it. Hobbies are a cash only type deal in my eyes. If you don't have the money to buy it, you probably don't need it, this includes mods and anything else. Need a new set of tires, save up bitch. Les schwab would love to rape you though at like 20% interest if your dumb enough to sign on the dotted line.
Paying for school and the pieces of paper employers want to see is nothing more than an investment in yourself. Ever heard someone say I wish i hadn't of gone to college? Besides, there is more Poon around than even i can handle. Oh thats right, i forgot the majority of you love the ****, nevermind.
