To make readers who aren't super star poker-players or luckybastard* SC commentators feel better, I successfully managed to overdraw on my overdraft not once, or twice but THREE times in my uni days. Good times.

Find out what you want to do, get an education for it, and do it.

Don't try to do any scheme to get rich without an education. You may get lucky, but it is usually gonna fail.

Once you have education you can easily get job, and if job pay bracket just happens to be high, you just happen to get lots of money.

It is easy.

Just get a good degree and work hard. It will pay off in the long run.

Get rich quick / working from home / 4 hour work week stuff is generally bullshit. If it was that easy to get rich, everyone would be doing it.

I make a grand total of around $1000 a month, interning for a local tech company, but I'm a college student so I that's my excuse. I think it's pretty good since I get to keep about $500 of it every month as my allowance that I can spend/save as I want (I mostly save). I pay my housing rent but my parents pay for all my school tuition, which is nice :D

lol
and just so you know, cardiothoracic surgeons are starting to lose some of their income because of interventional cardiology, and a lot of them are starting to do angio's to supplement their income.

That really matters a lot. Sucks for you if you have a high pay job but don't enjoy it.

I am sure you'll be able to find a better job as you get older since you're only like in your 20s? I assume?

:D
I'm old now

Like Someone said when you actually have a job that doesn't involve playing poker all day, saving is very important. Since most of us go to a University, any retainable funds are awesome.

I try to keep myself on a budget which has worked for me for the past 3 years or so. So far with a mediocre paying job working part time I have upwards of 10k in my account. I pay for everything as well (bills groceries etc.)

No where near some of the others but not too bad for someone who is 20 and independent
