my dad always told me that i wasn't a real man until i moved the fuck out his house.
my dad was kind of an ass, though.
depending on where you live, three hundred bucks a week might be enough to live meagerly on... again, you need a budget and you need to consider what you spend per day in addition to basic subsistence... rent + utilities + food + transportation + entertainment, plus the "unforeseen expenses" as indicated previously. After you have a budget, then look for ways to cut back on your spending to save, because it's not really going to be saving anyway, it's just going to be getting by. and yes, i agree with the above poster, unless you're pretty strictly disciplined with your personal economic affairs, saving for school isn't going to be the first thing on your mind when you get your paycheck every other week. unless you find a job that's going to pay for you to go to school (unlikely if we're talking about undergraduate, a possibility in terms of graduate school), then your education hits the back burner, which i think is a shame. you're never as smart as you are when you're in school, friendo.
if your pap can't get the idea that your money is meant to educate yourself, ask him to pay for your college. if he's asking you for your money, my guess is that it's not the first thought on his mind and he simply needs to be reminded of it. g/l to you, man.
