Fantasy

How to become independent (a list):

1.) Get a job.
2.) Start saving for your own college fund, because obviously there isn't one.
3.) Do your own laundry/ continue to do your own laundry.
4.) Figure out how to become at least a decent cook.
5.) Save money (approximately $150-$170) for your own vitamins, so you can be healthy even in the worst conditions, (i.e. the food your parents want you to eat)
6.) Use public transportation effectively.
7.) Start a garden during the two springs you've left in before college, so you at least know how to get one up and running to produce your own food.
8.) Emancipate.

9) Figure out how to take care of getting health insurance.
10) set up a savings fund.
11) Consider saving money for a cell phone and rent.
12) Also groceries. And cold medicine.
13) And utilities.
14) Make sure your job gets you at least four hundred a week to cover all these costs, which at minimum wage is about a forty five hour week.
15) Drop out of school to pay your bills.
16) Use your teeny tiny college fund to pay for some minor dental work.
17) Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.......

Well thanks. My list seems nothing compared to yours. I guess I'm not very well thought out.
