    Just started doing this....ive bought some steals off craigslist and made some nice ass profit margins...also my university does a "green move out" week and I help a friend organize and sort all of it...which means I get first dibs on stuff before it goes to the salvage company (name for on campus pick something leave something type student run organization)...selling some of the stuff I picked up from that too...2 mini fridges, 2 sets of crutches, a nice designer named leather jacket...etc etc...

    I'm only 20 :p

    Can you bartend if you aren't of age lol? I can't usually get OT at my work. Every once in awhile i can though.

    That craigslist idea of buying and reselling is good. I've done it with a few things here and there. I'll have to start paying closer attention i guess lol.

    Legally, it probably depends on the location and establishment. In GA, you can serve alcohol at 18. A lot of places might not hire you, though, for fear that you'd be drinking behind the bar.

    Ok to summarize:
    You are 20 years old and in college normally, but took this semester off. What's your major?

    You work in a restaurant. Are you a full-time or part-time employee?

    You large monthly expenses are:
    car payment
    car insurance (because as a 20 year old guy with a financed vehicle you're going to get bent over)
    cell phone
    snake food

    You don't have to cover housing, utilities, groceries, etc. for yourself.

    I would look for a second part time job.

    You can legally bartend when you're 18. My youngest son went through bartending school when he was 18, he was still in highschool at the time. He got his certificate and went on several job interviews but nobody would hire him. I think the reason pretty much was because he was only 18 although they don't actually come out and say that as that would be discriminatory.

    As for the craigslist idea, I had a friend once who had lost his job but he was able to make ends meet (at least temporarily) by buying electronics on sale and reselling them on e-bay for a profit.
