[QUOTE="vegaspackerfan, post: 3360618, member: 24901"] What I am going to say is alot like what others have told you. You need to find out what works for you and just do it. Pay yourself first. What is ment by that is this. Put as much money as you can in your 401K or what ever your compnay offers. Esp if they match any amount of cash you put in. By not doing that you are passing up free money. It is also tax free and like the child support you never see it. This is a long term savings though. Not a, I am going to buy a car in the next year type of savings. Short term I wouls suggest these moves. 1. Get a cell plan is not $75 a month. No neeed for all the fancy crap they push on people. Cameras are for taking pictures, Video recorders are for making movies, Etc. A phone is just that a phone. 2. Make double or tripple payments on the credit card. That $3,500 at the minimum monthly payment will cost you around $9,000 to pay it off. And that is if you stop using it. 3. Budget yourself. I used to put $150 a a check in an envelope every time I got paid. This money was for partying and blowing, when the money was gone I was done spending money until next pay day. Bring a chicken sandwich to work and eat it. Don't go to Carls Jr and buy one for lunch. 4. Your parents seem cool. Ask them for some help "if" they can afford it. AND PAY THEM BACK ASAP!!!!! Building your networth at a young age will do wonders for you, any amount. You may not think about it now, but it does. Roush is correct on the car. And remeber this...you have to live at about 60% of what you can afford. It sucks at first but very very well worth it in the long run. What you "want" now and what you "want" and "will need" in 10 years are totaly diffrent. Hope that helps VPF [/QUOTE]
