<prompt> Human: Heres my situation. Im a 19, in college, car paid off, and want to finish my BS degree debt-free. I live with my parents and they take care of what would be my rent, phone and car insurance. Im also still on their health plan. As of this past I have saved upinvested 13k in liquid assets. Currently I work part time as tech support for my local government and I bring home 1122.02 every month. Out of that I aim to save 800 so that I will have enough 30,000 to pay for the remaining two years of college operating on the assumption of ching no outside aid.This plan leaves me with 320 every month to spend on gas, repairs and whatever else I want. The problem is that my parents tell me all the time that I worry too much about the cost of school and shouldnt be so frugal with my money. Do you think that I am just being too conservative with my funds, or am I being conscious of the expenses of higher education? Assistant: You are being smart about spending which is great. Now the other half and what they may be seeing is how do you act about the saving? Do you whine how you cant ever go out and see a movie, go to dinner with friends, etc. or are you cool about it. I suspect you are cool but if not I can see what they might be getting at. Either way congrats on having your financial house in order. Human: First off, thank you for the commendation! I dont complain, but my parents seem to think that I dont get out enough or have any friends but Im an introvert so staying in doesnt bother me. I tend to stay close to my SO and most of my energy goes into her going out to eat, watching Netflix rather than going to the theater, etc.  <response>: Yeah, SO are nice, but friends tend to last longer. If your whole world is your SO, you might be setting yourself up for heartbreak and no support group. Find hobbies you enjoy and enjoy them with people outside your romance. College is a great place to make life-long friends and network.
