I don't see what the big deal about school is, I go to UST and pay through the ass! Tuition 25,000 a yr, i recieved 2,400 from the gov't, thats 22,600 out of my pocket. Big Deal! School is my choice, why should americans pay for me to go to school with their taxes...if i want to go to school, i'll pay for it. I also take at least 16 credits a semester, work a full time job and own a business...free time?!?! No such thing, i haven't gone out with my friends more than twice this year probably. I have no options though because i'm in the same position, if i don't...no school next semester. Frugal, my god...I eat Ketchup sandwichs and Ramen most meals with a glass of water - thats under a dollar right there, sucks - you're damn right, but once again its how life works at the moment and Big Deal. Instead of bitching about the cost of stuff and wanting other people to take the burden, man up and learn some financial intelligence. If someones education is that hard on them, quit, otherwise do what you have to do and shut up about it. It's your choice you're there. I'm almost glad i don't recieve gov't aid, because when i graduate i do not want to pay for all americans to go to school either. :naughty:

I am not complaining, I am just saying that it has not gotten better like all the republicans would like everyone to believe.
As far as needing to gain financial responsibility, call me up if you want to talk about it. I have kept a budget since I was in 11th grade. My cell is 952-412-6084. I am going into accounting. I do not know how to handle money though...
