conversation: User (OneCircleSquared): "Hello everyone! I am a 19 year old dude who wants to start taking money into his own hands and live a financially stable life. A bit about me: I live in Raleigh, NC, and I'm a computer science major at NCSU. I will graduate within 2 years, and I expect to be making somewhere near industry average of maybe ~65K - ~70K/yr. I am employed... at $8.50/hr part time. I have ~ 20K ~~saved up~~ invested in a money market account for the remaining semesters of college, plus an additional ~5K that I will make in a paid internship this summer (IT work), and finally ~1,500 for regular expenses. Mom and dad help me out by paying the mortgage/rent/whatever on a condo that is strictly in their name but they're letting me live in. I am single, able to say "no", live very frugally, and am also very sensible with money.\n\nMy goal is this: I want to get out of college debt free, which I think is *totally* doable. I also want to invest/save money early on, because the sooner you invest in, the more you get out. I'm really just looking for a way to minimize expenses and maximize profit. I'd appreciate any feedback you all have, thanks!\n\n1 O^2"
