Well, in a few more years you'll need a little nap in the afternoon to help you get through the day.

In another 4 years your car insurance will drop. 25 is the last of the good birthdays.

Appetizer------$6
Burger---------$6
Soda-----------$2

Total------------$14


Post 21 yr old trip to Applebees:

Appetizer-------------------$6
Burger----------------------$6
Big alcoholic drink---------$7
Another big drink----------$7
A shot for you & some girl you went to high school with--- $10

Total----------------------$36 (and she still won't call you)

Nice breakdown!

And brutally accurate, though my bills have more than quadrupled since my teenage years. My taste for expensive food and drink has gone wild. Nothing in moderation either...

I wish my brain could comprehend moderation when I go out to dinner. Its amazing how much money I would save if I didnt drink everytime I went out...but I just love booze soo much

Mine just went from $168/month to $106/month back in March. Go 25.
It's all downhill from here...
