kind of ironic huh?

I always found that the more money I had, the more thrifty I became.
When I was in college, I knew it was only a matter of time before I was completely broke and hitting up the credit card, just waiting for that next loan to come in. Money was transitory.

Now that I am working a real job and seeing some money, I want my assets to appreciate. I certainly spend less now (as a percentage of my income) than I did just 18 months ago.
