For those of us "young'uns" who aren't djs or computer engineers/programmers (though I don't know what _that_ has to do with anything, except making $$$) there is a simple way to make "important" ends meet: Step 1) Apply for credit -- both Visa & MC make it *real* easy for students to get credit cards (they *like* students. Students = $$interest$$ Step 2) Apply for Student Loan (these are trickier -- gotta be more creative) Step 3) Buy lotsa CDs when you have money cuz these can be used like coupons later (note:only at buy & sell record shops) Step 4) Tell your parents you had to buy books, pay for that Mother's Day phone call, pay back your roomate for the cable bill etc... Step 5) This step can come anywhere in the list. Go CD shopping!!! If at any time, despite Steps 1-5 you have no food for more than 2 days, go to the Food Bank. At least they understand. Well, that's how I do it anyway. In fact, my growlin' tummy isn't bothering me right now cuz I know my special orders are coming in from Cargo tomorrow :) Crispin | \|/ -- * -- peace, love and trance cbailey@julian.uwo.ca /|\ |
