I did learn to build houses, and I did meet my wife, but good financial moves? None here! :D Those came later...much later. I can’t think of any good financial moves I made in college.

This allowed me to have a full-ride scholarship that I wouldn't have had at the Big 10 school, keep living at home to reduce expenses, continue working the decent part-time job I had since I was 15, and meet the girl who is now my wife.

I graduated with $2,000 in the bank and no debt whatsoever. - I moved to live off campus in order to cut on housing expense. - I bought books online. - I always had an on-campus job ( 20hrs week) and always worked 2-3 jobs during summer/ winter breaks ( 60-80 hrs/week)offcampus to pay for my annual expenses and tuition. - I was involved in on-campus organizations and participated in many activities related to my major - The above helped me tremendously when I applied for scholarships. - I studied my a** off. But I also found time to partay ... - While in college, I failed to find a job/internship for the first 3.5 years. I learned from my mistakes, learned what jobs are available for my major, and then I had a better success and job finding. - I almost found my college sweetheart there.. But then she left me for an uglier man ;-( My smartest move ever?
