    I landed a 17$/hr job.. I was living out on my own and having to spend tons of money. So to save money, I built a budget. No eating out (you'd be surprised how much money you save when you buy bread, ham and cheese, or peanut butter and jelly and not buy fast food). Stay the hell off of e-bay (my biggest flaw with money). I also sometimes set goals for my accounts. Then.. Last year, I moved back in with my dad to help him with bills after he got a divorce. Which saved me a ton of money. I actually can put money into my 401k without worrying if I can pay my car payments. I put 100/week into my savings account also. Last year.. it was sure nice having 4800$ just sitting in my savings account. I think I'll get it high enough and just pay off the mazda.

    I want to know though...
    How in the hell do these 22 yr old kids have a 05 wrx.. (or a $30K+ car) and already have the title? There is no way in hell that they could have made enough money to pay off that car that fast. Full time college students, how in the hell do they go out and buy evo's and already have the title in hand, with enough money to throw at serious mods?
