 Am I ready to start going to step five because I paid cash for my car, they pay for college, and I don't have any daily expenses that most civilians have to pay for. What should I do with the $2,000 paycheck I get? So you're 18? Yes, sir. Thank you for serving your country, sir. And thanks for going through the personal finance curriculum. I can tell by the way you're talking it stuck with you. You went to that in high school, didn't you? I'm actually still in it. I'm graduating in May.
