There was once a time in my life where my parents would pay for anything I needed; clothing, food, entertainment; everything. However recently there has been an alarming trend, my parents pay for less, yet I require more. There are certain things that you never really think about until you receive the bill for them, for example car insurance, car registration, car repairs, gas (for the car), and sometimes even car parking (picking up a trend?). Add this all together with things like alcohol (admittedly a non-essential but still important), Uni textbooks (seriously, $90 for a 75 page book, someones having a laugh at my expense) and after all this your once healthy account balance is not so healthy and your left wondering whether you will have enough money in the account to pay for the account service fee (which if there isn’t you ironically get charged another excessive fee because the bank had to borrow money off itself to give to itself). So is there an easy solution to this problem? well of course there is, get a job (one that is more than 1 day a week that is) which is something that is being worked upon as we, well I, speak.
