For example, simply buy less, or only go through bargain bins, or take up roll collecting. You might even think about cataloging and organizing your collecting; that allows you to thoroughly go over what you've acquired and really get to know your collecting...takes a long while to do, too! As for school, I can tell you as someone that just finished going to university that it's EXTREMELY important to have at least a B.A. in order to get a decent job, and even nowadays, having an M.A. is what you really need to land a great job. I make $35K/year at the job I have now, but I assure you that without my B.A.'s, I'd still be working at Starbucks. As soon as my wife is done with school, I'm IMMEDIATELY applying to grad school so I can work towards a Ph.D. in Linguistics. And in terms of paying for school, honestly, don't sweat it. Even without scholarships or savings, there's plenty of loans you can get (government and private) to help pay. The school I went to is $40K a year, and after all the scholarships I got, I still ended up taking about $60K in loans in the end. I'll be paying it off forever, but it's worth it.[/QUOTE]
