i'm sayin if you're buying soda, cookies, chips, i mean each one those items i mentioned is roughly 5 bucks (24 pack, typical package of good cookies, 1 big bag of ruffles or whatever). that's basically eaten up half of 30 bucks with 3 items.

though i totally agree, eating healthy *is* more expensive. fresh veggies and quality meats are fuckin painfully expensive for the college kid on a budget. hence why most of them eat hot pockets and bagel bites. and pizza rolls. basically any variation of pizza.

It boggles the mind... same here in South America (in Brazil, at least).

I remember when buying Pringles was a once-a-year thing...

Definitely agree about hoarding money. I don't get that either. Why save money if you can't enjoy it? I guess for some people simply having a large amount of money stockpiled away somewhere IS enjoying it?

Hoardor!??!

the trick is to enjoy the interest you make from the money you hoard.

Use money to make more money and live off that.

I know a girl who is constantly going on vacation to places like Mexico and Cali because she has a loaded guy friend who's desperate to get into her pants and a filthy rich step brother.

It annoys the hell out of me.

i feel they should subsidize healthy food. Eating well should not be a privilege when your country is spending say what the US is spending on their military. The junk food ends up costing society more when all those fat assholes get sick.

I agree with that approach.

Some people may be content living off of wages and being dependent upon employment for financial security, but I could never be satisfied with that lifestyle. I value my time and my freedom far more than I value the things that I could otherwise buy with that money.
