How come you don't lol

I remember practically everything from high school

I was so excited my first day pushing buggies LMAO. I was determined to be best buggy pusher in history.

Then summer hit. I used to hide in the bathrooms until they called for a buggy run like 5x.

I was like I'm tired of asking my mama to buy me shit. I'ma buy everything!!!

That lasted all of one check

Guess it wasn’t important enough for me to remember.

[Bender Rodriguez]

[BlackRain]

It's funny but it's also an example of how some people don't learn about finances and how taxes work until way too late

 

[Ville'sFinest]

My first check was $280 after taxes.

Spent that whole shit at the mall in like 1 hour.

Crazy how hard it was to make but how easy it was to spend.

Yeah that's how all that low wage shit be. Why it's for the birds for me.

 

[OGDirtyD]

150 dollars working on a golf course collecting balls. Blew it under 2 hrs of cashing it on WrestleMania game on the GameCube for 60 dollars, Celtics Jersey, and 20 dollars at Kroger on chips, cheese popcorn, and candy. I felt like a grown man paying for my shit too.

 

[Ville'sFinest]

[Duwop]
