College Students, how much $$/mo do you spend?

Well seeing how you will be making 38 smacks an hour plus OT, I wouldn't worry about it. Should have plenty of money to do what you do and save some.
I worked construction in Floriduh for awhile when I was 20......so been 12 years, but only made 16 smacks an hour, which I thought was really good money.

Hell my uncle pays his top guys 25 an hour.......he owns his own construction company, which I work for him from time to time when I need extra dough......granted I haven't in the last couple years because of the economy.

prevailing wage in alaska + being an equipment operator = teh shizz.

I average about 38/hr. I get $28 for working at the rock crusher/doing grunt work, and i get $46.50/hr running heavy machinery. Work is about 50/50, but hopefully this summer will be more equipment operating for building roads in villages.

Good $$$ or not, i feel like $2g's a month is a ton to spend, i must be wasting it somewhere. This is without my projects either, just spent $$$

Ima have to watch what i buy come fall semester, see where i am effin up.

Jesus! You guys must have good jobs to be doing that, lol!
We do okay, but we put out around 3k a month, from my car payment, rent, all utilities, cable/internet/phone, food and what nots. We have 3 kids with one on the way.

I thought we were drastic. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Yes thank god we do or we could not live like fools as we do now LOL... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
