It’s not that I’m not frugal (say hello to the fifteen dollar prom outfit-including a slip, dress,and shoes) it’s just that I don’t have a job (parents) and I don’t have an allowance. I’m off to college soon, and I won’t have a job there (with a full ride and full schedule, I’d sacrifice grades) so I still won’t be able to. I’ve got 2k in the bank, 1.6k in high interest. I’m hoping that donations for graduation and my 18th bday (in lieu of large gifts, my family gives cash to kids with something small they want like a necklace or cd) will offset the lack of a dollar a day.

It would be a good idea to research IRA’s and other tax-free/tax-deferred investment vehicles, and pass that knowledge around (I would put some links, but this is your site not mine, You do the work :-D )

I started a bit late with the whole investing thing (not at 18!)… but I am investing more than $1 a day so. :)

Maybe then I would have had a fair sized nest egg for when I’m ready to retire (and maybe I would have been able to retire early)
