I used to be a waiter, and I killed it. Now I'm an intern at a big construction company. I took a big pay cut, but its what I have to do to get the job I want when I graduate. Really, it came down to me working ALL the time, living frugally, and setting objectives.

Most of them have parents who didn't love them enough as kids so they make up for it by buying them whatever they want when they're older.

I did one summer of hard partying, and I have some wild stories and (fragmented) memories, but going out and getting shittossed on a regular basis gets expensive.

What about the DRs that you rode on on the street that your mom payed for? I remember you saying she was going to be pissed when you had to call her for new tires.

No regrets....I am glad I went FI...and I would do it again. It feels so good when entering a freeway on ramp and someone in a M3 or Vette is on my bumper and then pssssssss....no more vette or m3...The look you get from them after that is priceless
