Not to be negative, but if you're broke and you just blew $4k on a sled, its your own fault. Necessities come first.

$4K for a sled? Hmm...Can it cook and entire turkey in under 15 minutes...AND warm the rolls? Does it have rocket boosters to push it past Mach 2? Does it in the very least have heater controls so you dont get cold?

Well dude, you're broke because of what your paying for.
So you should be really bitching if you rolling in a new winter jacket, riding on a sled, geting education, and soon going to euro! I say you have it pretty good!

when i went to college my dad was paying for tuition(which i got a scholorship for), the roof over my head and the food i eat. i bought more food than he anticipated, so over break i might have to tell my parnets i need more money for food, because i had to buy books and have spending money(that was the deal they gave me) and well... my spending money was for grocery shopping.

From a financial point of view Credit Cards are great..

95% of my transactions are thru CC.. the remaining 5% are with a debit card.

It makes 5 years I'm hooked on cards, and I've never had a late payment or balance carried over.. So I aint loosing any cash to a credit card institution.
