That's a good idea, Cindy!

 

That's what I did whilst at grad school and living at home. I paid room and

board as well as car insurance and my school lunches and books. Loans and

grants paid for my tuition. It kept me on the straight and narrow and I

learned how to make do with very little money. My parents didn't let me

skive off on paying them room and board because I was short of money; I had

to pay it anyway, just like in the real world. You make do somehow.

 

It's a hard lesson to learn but better learned at home before you go out
into

the real world.
