How I managed Money in Collage

Believe it or not, I got rich IN college. Most people are familiar with the average, “Broke college student”.

During my senior year of High school, I was sick of being broke. My parents were well off, but they put me on a really tight budget so that I learn the value of money.

All my friends were getting cars and I was till biking to school.

During my summer before I started college, I started making money online.

By the end of my first semester in college, I was doing pretty well.

The transition was liberating, but I lost many of lot of friends the process. It was bitter sweet.

The issue, like I said before, most college students really struggle with money. This caused a huge rift between me and my friends.

They couldn’t afford to do the things that I wanted to do/experience.

I wanted to do things like go to London over spring break.

I wanted to go sky diving when we had a long weekend.

I wanted to eat at healthy restaurants rather than McDonalds.

I am ashamed to say it, but I developed friends that had more money, simply because they could afford to do things with me.

It’s been a year since the transitions and I still try to hand out with my old friends, but it’s becoming more and more rare.
