Let's Pretend to be Grown-ups

I'm going to be honest. I'm not a grown-up. Sure by all legal and social purposes, I am very much a grown-up. Thank you birthdays!

In fact, when I worked in Florida, I had friends who told me

my age was wasted on me.

I could drink but I wouldn't.

They wanted to drink but couldn't.

It doesn't often happen that I have something or can do something that other people want to do.

Note: Girls, don't drink. Bad idea and not just because it's against the Word of Wisdom. 

I'm not talking about drinking though.

I'm talking about money.

Because girls?

I'm poor.

To be fair, I am a college student.

College Student (ˈkɒlɪdʒ ˈstjuːdənt) 

Definitions

noun

1. a student at a university or college 

2. one who is poor

Okay so that's not an accurate definition. I did pull from the Collins dictionary for most of the definition, but that 2nd point is mine. Also my roommate can actually read and understand the phonetic spellings...cool, right?

Yeah, whatever...

I'd like to not be so poor anymore. Living from paycheck to paycheck, not a fun lifestyle. 

There are things I want to do, things that I can't do due to lack of funding.

And right now? Right now I'm single. Single and childless which is actually a great combination when trying to gain control of finances. 

So I've been doing some reading and if I follow the steps

then by the time you arrive, maybe I'll actually have a penny or two 

to spend on you!

Look at that, you'll start off in this world with a penny to your names!

Now I just gotta stop with the fast food dinners....
