for all the kids in their late teens and early 20s bragging about how they have more than 1000$ cash in the pocket while they are in college... stop and think about the fact that you probably have parents or family who are paying that 20,000 dollar out of state tuition (or 7000 instate, whatev) and your car insurance and rent and whatever. I know that is not the case for all of you and some of us have to pay all this shit on our own.. making it much more difficult to have 1000$ cash laying around.. so forgive me for generalizing. But think about that.
