Top 13 Money Drains for College Students

1. Starbucks (nope)
2. World of Warcraft (nope)
3. Credit Cards (nope but that student line of credit kills!)
4. New computer (I already had a decent laptop but had to buy a new printer and a few other gadgety accessories – still, not too bad)
5. Software (definitely not – it's a free world baby!)
6. Booze (and how!)
7. Vending Machines (not so much but the Timmy's/Grad Club food was way too convenient way too often)
8. Books (for library school?  As if.)
9. Eating Out (yeah, that's always been my weakness – whether I was in school or not)
10. Clothing (getting a real job was a much bigger hit on the ol' wardrobe.  No more jeans & t-shirts unfortunately)
11. Spring Break (we didn't have spring break in the Grad Program but Shea and I did a pretty major trip for each of our three breaks for the year – Montreal after first semester, a loop around Lake Erie through Ohio after second and back to Saskatchewan after my final semester – so yeah, this was one of our biggest expenses of the year while back in school)
12. Cars (we didn't have our car in Ontario but rented one every 4-6 weeks.  I still think we saved money doing it this way.)
13. Dating (nah, we're married! )
