When I was working I had money left over every month to save or do whatever with. Not a ton. I'm not a big spender overall but I'm not super super frugal either, because I do'nt have the time or energy to do all sorts of weird couponing (plus most coupon stuff is junk that I don't buy anyway). I just try to buy stuff on sale whenever I can. My financial aid is all I live on, and by the time I get my next refund check I might quite literally run out of money. Ironically even if I did find a job, school is so busy and exhausting that I'd barely have the time or energy to work more than 5-10 hours a week.

Then, next summer (2013), I get to graduate, pay what will likely be close to 1000 a month in student loans (unless I get into a some sort of reimbursement program depending on what the government comes up with), all so I can help and take care of people for the rest of my life Smilie

Living the American dream Wink But it's all for the greater good - I'll be happy and satisfied with my life.

What people see is often not real. I know people who make less than me that live way better if you use material things and vacations as a measure.
Fortunately or unfortunately, that's how most people gauge real world quality of life.

I'm "well to do" in that I have a generous amount of time available to spend with my family. Big Grin

Good. I didn't want to have to laugh and you but I would have felt obligated.

Come now, don't you live in a "tony" San Diego Neighborhood Wink Cool
Where you then go out in your Benz and drive up the coastline for a leisurely ride,
just to find the perfect place on a Saturday evening to "dine" with the "boy" bounce
There is no Benz, and we rarely dine out. When he gets a job, then we'll see. laugh out loud

You're lucky. Has it always been that way?

It's not all luck...I've had opportunities (which I've passed on) that wouldn't have provided that.
