I don't drink/drug, etc, like a good deal in my age range. If someone spends even 20 dollars a week on things like that, or doesn't, in my case, then the amount adds up quickly. Extrapolated over the course of a couple years, you have a nice chunk of money.
I also got a good, in my opinion, finance rate of 2.4%. My credit score is good from paying student loans on time, etc.
I desperately want a better job, but it is difficult out there even with a B.A.. Finding it is really about connections from friends/family, etc, which my friends/family don't seem to possess haha.

I got sorta lucky with my job. Had to put school on hold with about 3/4 of my AA complete and took a really shitty temp job in the bmed field. I applied for a job within the company that was relevant to my education after being there for only a couple weeks. I didn't end up getting that job but from my interview process I was recommended for an entry level job that I would have going after when I did complete my AA. I'm 26 and only in the high 30s and with overtime considered the mid/low 40s but I was still able to cut out at least a year of the process getting to this level.
Putting it this way I feel much more fortunate ha. I know with the experience I'll keep going up. We have tuition reimbursement too so eventually I'll have my bachelor's in biomedical engineering.... I wonder what car I'll be shooting for at that point lol
