I do alright money wise but man, I seriously don't know how people survive on 20 or 25k a year

Not really a relationship question, more a rant really

You'd have to post a list of what you bought. Sounds like you bought a lot of prepackaged food, or expensive food items. Two bags usually costs me about $30.

I was 15 when I started working, and I've been working anywhere from 30-40 hours per week, for 2 years. I'm 17 now, and I already bought my own car (04 Grand Am GT!!), and I buy all my clothes, and a lot of my food, and now I'm saving and investing to pay for college! I love money, but I certainly don't like to have to give it away!!

At lot of times the basics are cheaper at Walmart, K-mart or Target.

Some stuff I saw at the $$ Store I could get for less at the one mentioned above.
