I walk around nowadays and I see kids spending like there's no tomorrow. Every day about 70% of the kids in my school go to buy $10 lunches. I'm fine with going out to eat a couple times a week (Say 2-3 times). But spending 7-10 bucks a day, 5 days a week? I mean, seriously. I understand that it's the NYC lifestyle to eat out all the time, but some people are oblivious. Even if they get this money from a part-time job, they should save some of it up for later, or for college funds. Heck, give your folks some cash. They pay for, well, everything. Believe me, I could eat at Subway for ages ($5 footlongs! Mmmm...). But my parents don't have the financial flexibility for that. Does it upset me? Yup. Do I want more? Yeah. But I can't have more. I remember looking at the stock tab on my laptop seeing 5-digit numbers. Well, that hasn't happened since October. My dad got laid off in October, and he's still out of work. I hope things get better, but I guess I'll just have to make due until then.
