...ok. As I've mentioned before, I'm transferring out of Rhode Island College and will be attending New England Institute of Technology next year majoring in Audio/Video Production. That's awesome. What isn't awesome is the cost of tuition for this school. $64,000 for four years worth of school. Now that number will go down a tad because of course transfers and diagnostic exams that I hope to ace to decrease the number of classes. I'm expected to provide an estimated $18,000 which I think is reasonable. If I save 50% annually, I can do it. I may have to work full time during school, but I will be able to do it. Student loans will cut that down too, granted I have to pay those back. Thing is, I have NO money. I have an ailing vehicle that needs a brake-job. I would LOVE to get that done NOW, but I have NO money. So as soon as I'm out of school for the summer, I am going to begin saving. 100 bux a week for 180 weeks. That seems like it will take forever to do, but I am determined to do it. My future and the stability of my future depends on it.

Hey Zach: welcome to real life.
