College Savings

College Savings
Posted By: George Patterson on August 08, 2005


Have many of you save a lot for college? Me personally, except for the money i'm getting from family and all that, i have no money. i spent it all on my CD. Everything from beats to studio time. It's not even done yet and i leave in 3 of 4 days.



At home, i never worried about money i always found a way to get money and make it fairly easily but i don't know what college life is going to be like and how my financial situation is going to handle it. I don't wanna hear all the "i told you so's" from my mom a couple months from now if i have to call home for money, but maybe i'll be alright. I plan on doing a lot of side stuff to help me out. I make beats and i'm hoping to sell a few soon. i have to get on the ball with that. And i cut hair, and i might start doing professional style custom mixtapes for people. So i'm hopin all that will work out for me.

You wont be the only one struggling i mean as far as i heard alot of people go into college broke, College takes alot of money to live comfortably and alot of people aint rich so they hustle through college, finding jobs, work study, selling cds candy doing hair you know anything to get a couple of dollars in they pockets, dont stress yourself about money, You have many talents so im show you can find some way to make some money, if not ask your school about work study and if your qualified for it to have some extra money in your pocket.
Im out
