It'll probably just go into my saving account. That's where most of my money goes anyways.

Let me give everyone some advice:
- Have a relative working at the college you attend, chances are high you can go tuition-free (i.e. no college loans). All I ever had to pay for, was my books and either bus fare or a parking pass.
- Live with your parents as long as possible (even if they charge rent, it will probably be cheaper than the real world)
- Work within walking distance of your home (saves on gasoline costs)
- Don't date (no expensive dinners or gifts)
- Never overextend yourself on buying anything...interest charges will break your back. I've never payed only part of a credit card bill in the 6 years I've had one.
The preceeding 5 pieces of information are why I was able to pay cash for a $10,000 car ('99 CR-V in Sept. of 2003), why I have over $7000 in the bank, and another $5500+ invested in the market (and all the junk I've bought...TV, 2 computers, DVD collection, several thousand Magic cards) not to mention NO debt, all from roughly 6 years of work...less than a year of it while being a full-time employee (got my promotion this past March).
I should probably consider myself very lucky.
