Yeah I'll keep you guys posted...who knows, he might find out tonight or he might never mention it.
Had all my needs paid off, all the money I had availible for it was just play money I had left over from my job this past summer (totaling about $1000). I had a separate fund for all my college expenses (textbooks, tuition, housing, food) and a fund just for my LDS mission. I'm all set, but my dad's always been one to manage his money well, something I'm glad to have inherited from him.
Being fiscally responsible sure doesn't mean I can't have fun, eh?
BTW: anyone know some good textbook buyback sites? I might be able to recoup that money I spent on the textbooks I have sitting in my room that didn't get sold...
