You know, college life is easy. People see money as a game, they go out every weekend and buy things to look good because of peer pressure. But the truth comes when you start a job and the bills start bothering you. That's when your mind calms down and you realize that you need to plan a budget and stop wasting money carelessly. Life teaches you mercilessly, and if you don't have financial discipline, stress creeps in very quickly.
