<p>Give the guy a break, it’s not like he chose to be born to rich parents.</p>
<p>Damn! You guys ripped DwayneJohnson apart lol.</p>
<p>You really, really should set up a savings account as soon as you start working/getting income. My mom works in a bank so I have been raised around responsible and irresponsible finances my whole life. People come in at 22, 23, 24 (recent grads) and have no idea how to save money. What these people don’t realize is that they are going to be buying a house, buying a car, and getting married and having children within the next 5 years generally. You need to learn how to start saving early so that you’re well disciplined by the time you graduate and get a salaried income. </p>
<p>I have been saving since I was 16. I had all my expenses covered, but I tended to put away money rather than spend it on clothes or other nonessentials. Because of this, when my car got totaled in an ice storm, I was able to get a new one. If I had not had those savings, I probably would have lost both of my jobs as there is no public transportation between them.</p>
<p>you should set up an IRA or 401K or somesuch account once you graduate if not sooner. Social security ain’t gonna be around for when you wanna retire.</p>

<p>heck with that. Definitely getting a car before I graduate but I won’t be buying a new one until I drive it into the ground. But when I do buy a new one it’ll be sporty 
at LEAST a Mustang. Unless gas gets to expensive that the only thing I can afford is a Fiesta (not a bad car mind you) The house will come next.</p>
