Perhaps it is time to lose your virginity.

yeah it seems like I just burn through money now that I am 21. I mean spending 300 bucks in a week at the bars just on myself is quite amusing and sad at the same time.

Nothing beats being 21 though.

It's all downhill from here...
I still had my S when I turned 25. I went from paying $280ish to to $110, and that was with no tickets or accidents.

Great! Something to look forward to, I guess that will wash out with the amount of money I will spend on alcohol.

Thanks for the sage advice, but I've already been saving since 15 - when I started working. I honestly can't see myself spending lots of money after turning 21 JUST because I can drink/gamble, since owning my S I've been investing that saved money (thanks to the wonderful money and investing forum thats here).

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

Yeah. I grab a drink where ever they sell alcohol usually.

Either learn to invest or hope your a member of the lucky sperm club cause you will have 44 years of being a wage slave till you retire.

Dump the 300 a month booze fund for this year into some decent account, manage it well and you can retire sooner unless you enjoy being a wage slave.

For greater effect you should have started at 18.

Nothing would suck more than to get old and cash poor.
