so, here you are, thinking that the world has once again turned its back on you. u get hard up for a buck and u know very well that money doesn't grown on trees in this town and that's just the cliche! for you, mr. it doesn't take long to realise that unless you DO something about it AND SOON, you can find yourserlf in a very tight situation. last thing in the world is to go around asking your mates for some spare cash! alright, stop whining; get a grip ... first things first, ok? ... learn to save and stay alive financially, put yourself first! you have to be selfish to survive. so if you are a smoker, u know exactly what to do - STOP before you end up on the streets with useless lungs. if you are in the habit of taking girls out everyweekend, you better give it to them straight: "honey we are going dutch, no hard feelings!" saving takes will, and that's the easy part. u don't wanna end up like many who could, should have done better. maybe you have class and like the theatre? FORGET IT! who needs theatre when money is hard to get by? you may not like it (low self-esteem?) you better get used to it then. no one wants to be a loser, admit it, but it takes COURAGE to save, and that's again only half the truth.

now my friend, if you have made it to this part, you are on the right track.
end of part one.
