Become Financially Independent
Eh.

After a year and a half of college, I dropped out for a year. I waited tables for a month, trying to make ends meet, and then i got into the car business. I sold cars for 10 months, and the first few were pretty hard, not making any money, and trying to figure out how to budget myself. Luckily, my parents had given me a credit card when I was 16 that I’d used here and there for gas and stuff when i was in high school (i didn’t have it after high school), and I’d paid off half of a student load when I dropped out of college (since I dropped out mid-year, I didn’t the money for the second semester), both of which helped my credit, so I got a credit card of my own, which, between a low APR and affordable monthly payments helped with keeping my expenses in check until my cashflow caught up to them. I’ve got my budget all set up now, slowly putting money away each month, and my credit card debt is only a couple hundred bucks, which i’m intentionally paying off slowly to improve my credit. Everyone makes a big deal about credit cards and young people, but if you’re smart about what credit really is and what it means to spend money you don’t have, it can be a useful tool.



drink Absinth
kind of gross.

The absinth you see in things like the movie “Eurotrip” is the kind sold in old soviet republics, the reason people hallucinate when they drink it is because the laws in those countries are more lax, and it contains things like formaldehyde. You can’t get it in most western european countries like England, France, and Germany. The kind of absinth you can buy in countries like the U.S., England, Canada, etc. (countries with food safety laws) doesn’t contain any hallucinogenic ingredients, and is mostly an anise or black licorice flavored liquor (similar to Jaegermeister, but not as good-tasting)

I’ve quit again, and hopefully this time it’ll take for good!
