It's really hard to see things when you're actually in the situation, but if you have someone who's been there before to let you know things will work out it really does help! So thanks for your comment and best of luck with your daughter and her college experience. -Amanda Hey Rick,

I went through the same paycheck-to-paycheck cycle after I graduated nearly 30 years ago: home-brewed coffee vs. Dunkin' Donuts coffee, trying to tuck a few bucks into the savings account, paying off college loans, saving for the future vs. not having enough to pay the bills during the present. Now, with a daughter about to enter college, I'm facing some of the same stuff all over again. But it's easier this time around. You're right in saying that with age, you get more stuff thrown on your plate. The big difference, though, is that with job and life experience (and higher pay) comes the wisdom to handle all that extra stuff. Just work hard and have some fun. Things will turn out fine. Good luck! I feel your pain.
