If you live per curiously through someone with a large salary. We all do it. You can still be financially responsible while being young and still having fun. Some people say nicksa to those wonderful lattes (which are around 4.00 for a Tall at starbucks) due to their broken budget, but you can still have the things you want while sacrificing others. For instance, if you see that awesome tv show you have been watching just came out with its forth season on dvd (for a mere 34.99), you can get that. But realize you need to give something else up, like say some restaurant meals. If you do the math down the road, buying the 34.99 dollar DVD set, instead of the 3 times you ate out, you are actually saving money. Although, deciding what is more worth it in the end can draw some blanks. For me, I would rather buy a starbucks coffee (4.00), a new pair of jeans (28.00), and a top (15.00) - than go to a bar and spend about that on a round of drinks and a ridiculous amount of munchie food when the buzz sets in. Not that I don't like to have a drink now and then, but when I first moved to where I am, I spent all of my money on going out. It gets expensive when I would hit a bar three or four nights a week. So I found other vices, budgeting my money for fashion, which I love the most. (my parents always drill me on clothes, why I keep buying them, I just tell them "Least its not crack"). But I am also saving up some mullah to travel, I am hoping in six months, traveling will become one of my main vices.
Anyways, whats to earning money, if you never get to actually enjoy it?
