How that resonates to me being a bum living in a "basement" is beyond me. Mabey that's your own current living circumstances that you soo aptly described.
You're right about me being older than you, you're the same age as my eldest nephew, some 7 years younger than me. As for things to spend money on? How about holidays, see the world travel somewhere outside of the USA and actually live? As for being a bum living in my parent's basement, well consider 90% of homes in the UK don't actually have a basement, they have a loft but nothing below the home. Add in to this my age, working a full time job, having a life and you can do the maths, I don't live at home with the parents. I've been back for periods of time where my life has gotten rough leaving me no other choice but by the time I was 19 I was living alone or with friends. Love how you attempt to turn it around on me.

You work 4 days a week is that 4 full days a week or is that half shifts? Please indulge me on this because you're sitting there quite smugly saying "I'm proud of myself for working" when frankly you could be working less than 16 hours a week which anyone, student or not could do. I know people who have worked full time jobs and studied in the UK, I know someone who studied and worked 2 jobs, both of which would have counted as full time. Sometimes people just do what they do and don't expect a blue peter badge for doing so, clearly you do expect the blue peter badge because frankly you wouldn't go on about how damn proud you are otherwise.
