Things that make you happy/smile

what about insurance on that car? What kind of credit score does a 20 year old have? how much do you expect maintenance costs on a 8 year old car to be? What is your current job I'd love to hear this. And internships really don't mean shit when you are competing against people with 4 years of experience. We have interns at work they don't do anything near what is done on the day to day. I know you want to think that you're going to be set for life when you graduate btu you can't be further from the truth.

^this. I've been building credit since I turned 18 because my mom explained how it would only make things easier for later, I don't do much with it but I do make some large purchases with it and then pay it with my debit, instead of paying directly with the debit just so I can get my foot in the door so to speak. I don't know exactly what the score is, but I have spent a lot on it and always paid it in full on time, and I know it's high for what it can be; yet the student loans I'll be looking at will still be crippling.

Unless you've got a super-rich elderly family member that plans on leaving a bunch of money to you as their sole proprietor, I'm with n8. It's crazy to think it's so set in stone after you graduate.

So did I. I got my first credit card when I was 18. At 19, I opened brokerage account where I have been transferring money every week (like 10% of my weekly income) and buying/selling stocks. My college tuition is fair cheap, (only $3000 a semester) since I go to state university and pay in-state tuition.

I'm pretty optimistic about finding a job after graduating. I don't give a shit what everyone says about economy being weak, thousands of other students applying and so on and on and on.

Living in NY is expensive, but realistic. Around central park condos do go for $2000-$3000 a month. But further away, it goes for $1000-$1500. (Brooklyn and areas around) Making $80-$100 grand a year is enough to live comfortably .

I put all of mine into a Roth IRA, let it earn some while it waits, pull it out before taxes and all that, but only equal to the amount I contributed originally so I don't get penalized. I don't usually need it on hand since I spread my purchases out in chunks anyway. I use it for college since that can't be penalized, and my mom or dad gives me the balance since it would have gone towards it normally. I love the IRA account, tax-free savings sounds like a soon-to-be-fantasy in this economy.

Fucking love Alan you goddamned fucking super nerd lol

When Alan uses big words I don't understand

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room.

I missed Alan.

RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

how something simple like an alignment and new tires makes a world of difference. Didn't realize in north Texas I'd need an alignment every 6 months...

Dad had his surgery today, outlook is looking good.

Bladder cancer portion was a resection and remove, so he still has it it's just smaller. (The bladder I mean, not the cancer)

Colorectal cancer was removed and doc's were happy with clean edges.

Small surprise with small intestine which was at least partially removed, not sure yet on how much.

But overall doctors are happy with results so far, just have to wait for him to come out of recovery.

Doing (way) better than expected on a filter design midterm. And doing 25 points better than my one friend who usually kicks my ass at this stuff. Small victories but I'll take 'em.

Not to thread jack... but are you trying to work for RF down the road? What field are you going into? They are on my list after I get my degree.
