Ok, now I think I get what you are saying; that my parents pay for my college. This is not the case. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, my parents are unable to pay for higher education. My college experience, as well as my car and bikes, are funded entirely through my hard work. No loans, no credit card. I am sure others on this forum are in a similar situation. If this is what you were saying (please correct me if I am wrong, not trying to start a flame war) please try to be more considerate of the circumstances others face. Sorry to the OP for the slight derailment. It just gets on my nerves when people assume everyone who claims "broke college kid" status is complaining. I personally hate that phrase. Sorry again for getting side tracked, but that comment really ticks me off.
