I feel ya. I'm in college too. I had student loans my first 2 years but now I'm paying up front. I'm lucky enough to have saved a good bit of money. But I still do payment plans sometimes. Except last month I was a little loose with the wallet and dropped $1550 on 2 snakes that I had to have NOW. Ha but now I'm in Pinch-a-penny mode till I get my savings back up to my min acceptable level ha. Is it ok to spend emergency money on BP's?
