I got a job before finishing college my last semester and would skip classes to go to work because I had hit the *jackpot* getting $12.25/hour.

"$11/hr??!? WTF am I going to do with ALL THAT MONEY?!?!"
Save some emergency money, then save for the bike.
I'm almost to that point. I've been on a training salary for the last 7 months and was told a couple days ago I'm getting promoted within a month. I figure if I have been able to cover all my bills (except student loans 
) with my current salary when it more than triples next month I'll have tons of disposable income. Although I've been really trying to talk myself into saving, investing and putting a ton in my 401k. It's hard to think that far down the road when you're only 24 and want instant gratification.

Do yourself a favor and open a Roth IRA...even if you put $10-20 bucks in at a time.
I did this a few months back. 10-20 bucks a paycheck doesn't seem like much but when I did the math and looked at compound interest
I was sold
It adds up faster than you think, you will never miss the money and you can't easily get to it and sabotage your savings.
You mean he didn't ask if you wanted to have lunch, then ask you to pay? And bring his GF, too?Nice - when we went to lunch with you, you were worried about a $5 burger

My first regular summer job was a part time ranch hand at Gregg Stables in Parker Colorado - I moved irrigation pipes through a rotation in an alfalfa field, strung electric wire to keep horses out of said field and mucked out their stalls. The job paid $50.00 a week for 2 hours a day 7 days a week plus unlimited use of an old farm truck - at 15 I thought I'd hit the jackpot. The owner I.P. Gregg looked like Boss Hogg in overalls.
Haha next time you come by san diego ill buyYou mean he didn't ask if you wanted to have lunch, then ask you to pay? And bring his GF, too?
