Why have I dropped 700 dollars on ski equipment in the middle of the summer?
-
because spending money is fun
-
@Dan Castellaneta That is very true, is it bad that Im waiting for my next pay check just so I can get even more ski stuff?
-
@Dan Castellaneta True, the only bills I have to worry about are my monthly phone bills and my weekly RRSP contribution, but over month that only totals to about $150

@Chaos_Sorcerer I work as an Underwater Ceramic Technician (dishwasher)/line cook at a sports bar/restaurant, and do general stuff at my family butchershop. Its definitely awesome having my own source of income, I mean, I have to pay income tax and stuff now but Im no longer a dependent on my parents so in the governments eyes Im technically self reliant which is a pretty cool feeling as a 15 year old
-
@Clanscorpia Cool! How much of it are you saving up for college? I also have a job and I feel like I've spent too much on tech...
-
@Chaos_Sorcerer Honestly, probably none. My RESP is already maxed out every year, and I have a plan to make it through university, so Im not really worried about it. I honestly just need to figure out what I want to do. I can either cruise through high school easily and go to a really good university here, or put a ton of effort in and hard work and try to get into a good school into the states, but Im not sure if the benefits outweigh how much work and effort Id need to put in to go to a school there. Like is it really worth the hours more of work and effort Id need to get into MIT than UfT? Im just going into grade 10 now though so Im not super concerned.
-
@Clanscorpia Yeah, same. My parents have said that they'd pay for my education here, and I can just work during the summers if I need extra money. I've always wanted to go to school in South Canada, but I'm now planning on just relaxing during high school and hopefully doing well in uni to get into a nice graduate program in the US.
What do you wanna be when you grow up, btw

@Chaos_Sorcerer Honestly, Im still not sure. I know for sure its going to be in Science and Engineering, but everything is just so cool and interesting I cant find a single thing I want to focus on. Right now its Aerospace Engineering, but even with that stuck in my head, things like molecular biology are forcing themselves into my brain. I just cant figure out what interests me most. It must have math though, I love math and Im great at it so anything that doesnt have it would kill me. Im probably just going to wait until grade 11 when I can take all the science courses and Calculus and vectors to decide what programs I should apply for.
