Default so who else is a poor student?

I've decided that I love money, but the actual fact that I need it sucks. horribly. I work twenty hours a week, earning an average of $8.5 or 9$/h (i work on commission). It pays pretty well, but I also have a lot of expenses. thank god my parents are paying for my tuition, but my supplies have already racked up almost $800. My new camera and two lenses will cost and extra $3300 or so, and my ski pass this year was $619. not to mention I might have to buy new skis this year if i can't get them on warranty (still waiting to find that out) since I broke my skis last year. what's more, i need $3300 in my bank account to get a work visa for new zealand for the summer. so yeah, i'm a poor student, and i need money. anyone wanna help me rob a casino?

Wow I never thought i`d ever agree with Adidasss but he`s got a point there.

If you were that poor skis would be the last of your worries.

if you were that poor, you'd have already eaten the skis. and more than likely the snow too.

When I was a lad we used to dream of eating snow.

Kids today don`t know they`re born.

wow way to take everything i said WAY too litterally. obviously i know the difference between being actually poor and just not having the money to do everything that i'd want to do. I'm just pointing out that it's hard to work 20 hours a week and go to school full time. and to everyone who said skiing should be the least of my worries, you've obviously never met me. my life quite litterally revolves around skiing, and to anyone who says i should get my priorities straight, i do have my priorities in order, they just happen to be in a different order than most people. I've spent my entire life up till now sacrificing my time and energy doing things that OTHER people think i should be doing, and now I've finally decided what i should be doing in my life and i'm just commenting on the fact that it's tough to juggle everything.
