You are thinking about the future and thinking about it in the correct way. Sometimes you have to make some consolations along the way. I wish that Mustang would have been my consolation. When I was going through college, I drove a Ford F150 for nearly 10 years until I got my BA. I was working during the day making enough money to pay for my schooling and exist. That was tough considering that I crammed as many credits into each semester as I could handle. Now that I have graduated (will - class of '90) and will into a good career, I can play all that I want (within reason). Finish school and then enjoy yourself.
