If money and finances were not a problem and I had one summer to do what ever I wanted. I would spend my summer before college working two jobs to get my car paid off as fast as I could so I wouldn’t be making payments on it next year. I know “money and finances are not a problem” in this situation but you know nothing in this life is just handed to you plus if I didn’t have a job I would just feel like such a bum with nothing to do, work is one of my favorite places to be and I hope my next job is just as good as this one. Ok ok I can see some rich uncle paying for you to go on a trip around Europe that could happen I guess but I don’t want to travel. I hate traveling, but that rich uncle isn’t just going to go out and buy you a car! If you don’t earn that car yourself over time it won’t mean near as much to you down the road anyways. Maybe that’s why the rich don’t just hand stuff out because they know that. If you hand a bum a hundred dollar bill he’s probably going to have a great night….then be back on that street corner the next day. So that’s what I plan to be doing with my summer, work two jobs and get my car payed off as fast as possible and then who knows I might end up buying another Toyota Celica to add to the collection. Later on in life I actually plan to have 3 cars through my 20’s. 1. Nissan 350z, love it so why not? 2. Toyota Celica, it’s a more casual better gas mileage car that is still very fun to drive and has that kick, just not as showy. 3. I don’t think I’ve told anyone about this one. But I plan to buy a big 4-wheel drive truck just to have for whenever it snows. I can’t stand being stuck in my driveway not being able to even get to the road in my sports cars so I’ve got to have that for when I really need out to get to work. Makes sense right?
Work is all you can ever think about man. By the time you finish college, that car will be paid off by itself because of a stable job. The last thing I want to do is earn more money that will make me less happy. Remember, YOLO can be looked at in many views but as long as you are happy with what you do and who you are, I say go for it. By the time that the summer is over, everything is going to be so different. Although our lives have been a stepping stone in the sea of life, this summer is really going to determine who our long-life friends are, who we end up becoming, and our sole purpose in life.
ReplyDeleteJake, I think our views of a fun summer are very different. If I had unlimited funds I would just pay off my car with that. I do admire that you want to earn everything you have. You gave a good work ethic that most people lack and I'm glad you love your job that much. I love my job most of the time but I wouldn't want to spend my entire summer there. I think you should save a little time for a summer adventure!
