Hei, I'll finally start working, though I'll be starting from the way bottom of my profession. My dad thought this would be a good chance for me to learn to be independant, so he just gave me enough money for six months (hopefully), and told me to be financially intelligent, learn about the world, and well, learn to sink or swim.

I'm determined to make this one work, so I believe I'd have to learn how to manage my finances first. I'm one of those people who'd get their money and finish it by the middle of the month, and I know that's not a very good system for the long run (or short, for that matter).

So if you guys have any tips about what really screwed you guys up in the beginning, or what helped you guys the most...I hope you guys can share it with me here. Thanks.
