I hope you come back tomorrow as I show another budget. This for a student working 3-4 full days and goes to school full time. I'd loved to see what you think about it and if you have any tips, please let me know. I'd like to put it up in a post. Thanks! Yes, I started with a relatively easy living situation.

My opinion, however, is that it's too much of an ideal situation. Quite a few college students don't have the support from family and end up taking loans and working 20+ hours / week. FAFSA's great if you're in the lower income bracket, but as a middle class college student, FAFSA has done absolutely nothing for me in terms of grants or federal aid (with loans as an exception). I do agree, however, that if you are in an ideal situation, it's never too late to being saving for the future. With housing prices slowly decreasing, wouldn't it be nice to have money saved from college to purchase a house once you leave?
