Alex, you are very conscious of way to spend your money,and how youI just feel like some people are plain ignorant pessimists.
I just got off the phone with my girlfriend (of two years), and she wants to go 40 minutes south to her friends house to party tonight. This means I have to drive for 1 hour 20 minutes (40 there, 40 back) just to go hangout with a bunch of people.
With gas prices the way they are right now ($4.30 for regular here in the Chicago suburbs), you would think she would be smarter than to waste it to do an activity you can do right around here in Chicago.
I said that she isn't being finacially conscious and we should be smarter. Her response was, "It's summer, we're young, we should be having fun." (Definitely not a fastlane response.)
I'm working 50 hours a week at a Law Firm at an hourly rate (because I'm 18) just so I can save to start my next big investments (real estate).
Way too many young kids weren't taught the importance of being financially independent.

set your priorities. How did you attain such discipline?
