I live with my dad so I don't pay rent.

I work at APAC (which is customer service) to pay for my 2002 Chevy Impala and my cell phone.

I'm a software engineer by trade, specialising (if you could call it that) in web-based applications. However, I've got my final year of university to return to this year, so I've hat to hang up my gloves for a bit.

I've got a flat in the city centre of Sheffield with a fair rent for a single bedroom. The only other things I have to pay for is council tax, internet, phone and other energy bills. I'm also considering subscribing to Blockbuster's online rental service, so I don't have to pay extortionate prices for DVD boxsets of 24 and Deep Space Nine.

I go to school, and in Sweden we get money for doing that (for up to 6 years full time post-highschool studies). So if you're living at home (which I am) you can usually get away with a bit of a profit each month. Also, I don't have to cook my own food .

Wow, I have to say that the more I hear about other countries the more motivated I am to leave the US, 6 years after highschool is alot, more than most of this country even stays in school. Even our up-north neighbor has the perk of free health insurance . I think it's switzerland that you get a free gun when you turn 18? ;p

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have to be a swiss citizen and serve the miliz. Then you may get a weapon.

For a living, I drive trains around.
And study the IT. I'm not that good, but my parttime job makes it up.

I was going to sell blood plasma. But I had been working and didn't change before I went there, and the told me my shirt was too dirty. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but I was somewhat relieved. A friend of mine does it sometimes. Basically they take what resembles a hollowed out nail and stick it in your arm, then they sit you in front of a crappy Disney movie for 45 minutes or so while they drain your lifeforce.

For this you get $15 to $30, depending on your blood type.

I study at a university. This gives me 80 000 NOK (~12000 USD) in government loan/scholarship per year (it's a loan that all Norwegian citizens get (if they want) to study. If you're a good student and produce your 30 study points per semester (this year I'm taking a course on Democracy, a course on the European Union, and a course on Planning and Politics in society, all worth 10 study points each) parts of your loan will be converted into a scholarship).

Of this money (80 000 NOK per year = 6 666 NOK per month), I spend 2 800 NOK on my appartment, and the rest is pretty much equally divided among various gaming resources (be it electronic, board, or pen and paper), alcohol and tobacco, and food.

well I know what I'm doing next time I need a pack of smokes.

Peach: I was under the impression everyone had to join the military, it was meant more as a joke than anything else, though. I am ignorant, I am american.

Choco: I am a student. I never study, and am poor. Seriously who needs to study these days :p

In theory, everyone has to, but practial, you know how to behave and what to do, so you don't have to go. Trust me.

I live in a 10*14 room, with a desk, single bed, 2 computers, a tv.

I work as a webdesigner at night, Server coordinatior days and university in the evening or early bird (before work or after work)

In other words, I'm never sleeping

Only good think, I'm 650$ over every two weeks since I spend less than I get paid

Whatever I feel like possible. Go to college and crap, both me and my wife. Last week I treated her to a romantic dinner.

Classes this year are hard. They decided to cram two years of information in one year, into our heads. While most of the profs tend to do just that, only a few of them worked like last year, one year of information crammed into students' heads.

I also tend to do odd jobs, just for money, while Beck has a job working at a costume shop downtown, and incase any of you asks: yes, it's a family friendly costume shop. u_u

As to how I live, we're going to move out of my house to our own small home next year, depending on how my little financial situation plays out with the insurance company and stuff.
