Spend Money Like a Student

How do you spend your money?  Even though I’ve been pulling in 3G’s per month from this blog, I still spend money like a student.  After studying nearly 5 years in college, I got used to living off as little as $400 dollars month.  Somehow though I earn money like a graduate, I spend money like a student.

Transportation
I don’t have a car.  I walk and ride my bike.  Take the train when I need to.  But, honestly somehow this works.  I don’t pay insurance, gas, or the normal wear and tear every car goes through.

Food
I like cooking.  The last time I was in a restaurant was two cheeseburgers at McDonalds when I was traveling.  I also drink a lot of mineral water.

Clothes
I’m a second hand shopper.  I’ve also gotten clothes direct from Thailand.  Like Walmart always says, Why Pay More?

Entertainment
I’ve got almost every form of entertainment I need on my pc.  Movies, sound system,Student Studying books, you name it, it’s either online or on already stored on my computer.  I don’t even have a cell phone.  I know it’s 2008, not 1971, but still using free voip online, I’ve managed to make calls and receive calls without paying a dime.

Why do I spend money like a student?  Well there is the fact that I do have $20,000 in loans to pay back from studying, but after living five years spending money like a student, I never saw a reason to change it, even after earning 5 times as much money.
