Well my first entry was kind of random and meaningless because i was trying to see if this whole web page thing would work. It seems to be working fine so hopefully i'll start writing more.

I just finished taking a physics test and it was kind of easy. See the teacher selects problems similar to the homework problems and then makes them a little easier. So if you do your homework...

Anyhow i think i'm a little different from most other people my age. I think the two things that set me apart are, I don't particularly want a car and i don't watch movies. I don't really want a car cuz i know it's an expensive habit. You might spend $60(gas) + $300 (insurance) + $300 (car payment)= $660/mo and that comes out to about $7000 a year. I'd rather use my money(imagining i had some) for other things. I have a similar rationale for not watching movies. I mean my parents never let me go the movies when i was younger so now that i have the freedom to, i cant imagine coughing up $8/movie/week. If i were to go to movie theatre every other week for 1 yr., i would spend over $200. there are a bunch of other things i don't do for similar reasons like eating out, buying christmas gifts (which i could go on about for pages) and similar activities.

So you might be wandering well since you save $10,000 a year by eliminating fun from your life and not having a car, what do you do with all that money? Well since i have no income i don't get to spend all that money that i'm saving. But if i did make some money i'd use all the money that i would have used for "fun" for charitable purposes. Like missionary work or starving kids in Sudan and North Korea stuff like that. I'd like to see if i can give $10,000 bucks a year away when i do start making money.
