Not saving a cent right now because its all going to paying off debt! Once Im done paying off debt around April next year if all goes to plan then i'll be saving so that im not living paycheck to paycheck. Then once I have a nice cushion built up I'll be saving for a house or depending on how my first year of college (Im 23 and have never spent a day in school outside of HS) goes, I may save up as much as possible so that I can quit my 9 to 5 and go to school full time.

This thing called 'food'. Apparently, I need it to 'live'.

Thining about going on a roadtrip after I graduate in may to Toronto, and I need uber-amounts of money because I'm going there with a purpose. ;)

Other than that, dating, clothes (maybe), seminars, gas, etc.

Probably buy it next month.

Is a gigabit connection really necessary? I mean... think about it... is your home network really even going to saturate a 100 megabit line? I highly doubt it.
