Here's a way to save face. Instead of inserting-foot-in-mouth, how about stomping on your hands for a little bit ....

on 11 an hour? what is your allowance? 10 an hour? 
so:
50 a month for gym
50 a month for phone
209 a month for the car
209 a month for insurance (guessing it's under your parents, otherwise it'd be a lot more than 209...)
50 a month in gas (low ball)
= 568 a month in basic expenses.
now, if you are going to college full time, I bet you can only work like 25 hours a week, maybe 30.
so you pull in 1100 a month before taxes, remove 25% for taxes and you gget just about 875 or so for net income. so that leaves you a little over 300 for everything else. not bad. but wait, food each day probably costs 10 bucks... so that's 200 a month... and that isn't even counting if you needed to go on a date, that'd be an easy 50 right there.. once a week that's another 200 a month... now all of a sudden you are in the negative...
WHAT WILL YOU DO? suck some dick for a five spot or run to your parents for some scratch?
now if you had to pay for it yourself.
50 a month for gym
50 a month for phone
500 a month for the car
260 a month for insurance
50 a month in gas (low ball)
600 a month for rent (low ball)
300 a month in food
not counting schooling expenses.
and all of a sudden it ain't so much.

Seriously kid, if you just said you worked at Costco and just posted your Z with no other information and without the ridiculous signature, we would respect you just like any of the other people who introduce themselves here. (Go take a look at their threads and you might learn something).
While you and your friends/family are going around driving your fancy Porsches and eating your delicious lobsters the rest of us have to work for all our stuff and still sometimes don't make the kind of money to pay for the kind of lifestyle we want. I had to drive a crappy civic in high school/ early years of college, and while it wasn't the best thing it was certainly better than what most people got (no car at all), but I didn't feel the need to brag about it. I didn't even like driving to high school when there was a bus available.

you can't work over (I think it is) 25 hours a week when school is in session by state law unless you are in the coop program... at least in NJ there are labor laws about that.

but dude, I got nothing against people getting a free ride, I would've gladly taken my seat if it was offered. I hope you appreciate it!
but the point is you have a stupid sig that doesn't make sense, and a stupid screenname you are going to have to live with.
shape up, we aren't 18 year old kids with no experience... I am 23 with no experience! but I know what is stupid and saying 'easy money' is stupid when you don't make 'easy money' as attested to your own words (broke up with GF cause working too much)
