Hi guys.
I am a recent college graduate.
My first 3 years of college, I thought I was slick. I was living at home, rent free, making good money at a prominent wholesale/retailer. I went to community college. I commuted to school. I thought I had it figured out. I was making 500 to 600 dollar checks on average and I was able to bank every cent of it. When I was doing my best, I had $27K liquid cash sitting there in my money market account.
I was feeling pretty smart. I could take all of this money I would have spent on rent and tuition (dad was paying my tuition) and drop it on Prada shades and ridiculously expensive stuff, I built a HIGH horsepower gaming PC, I went to every concert, I took trips to Vegas and other destinations, just trucking through my money and living it up. (To my credit, I was also maxing out a Roth IRA. I was halfway smart).
Then I decided to move out. I was sick of my parents and living at home and dealing with their bullshit.
I found a shitty place on campus for 475 a month.
Low rent, I thought.
I signed on the line and moved out. A scary thing for the first time, but trust me. Its awesome.
So a few months before I had moved in, I got a new job in a volatile workplace. Long story short, that didnt go as planned and I rage quit one year ago today. Fast forward to the end of my lease, I went 8 months without a paycheck and burned every cent of that 27k. I am currently broke as fuck and I'm back with the parents trying to rebuild. it's going to be at least until spring when I can go out on my own again, and my parents are driving me fucking nuts and their cats are dying and they're also driving me nuts. I fucking hate everything about my current situation. Do not be like me.
