If you are looking to venture out into the word of raw/dry I would recommend starting with a pair of N&F. They are a great quality denim at a decent price compared to $200+ similar pairs...

The wash on these have to be one of the best out there right now. They are really dark but have a really great shade of fading that compliments the darkness. The blue is also great. They just need...

I think these have really great wash. The only problem is that they are leggings. If they were regular skinny jeans they would definitely be a for sure purchase by me. Overall they are really great...

I have to disagree with attending college out of high school ... just cause my parents are paying for it 
But the kids who have to pay for it themselves usually are really motived and do well (that's what my dad did).
They made a lot of references to people buying expensive jeans ... lol ... I could totally relate. Spending a week's worth of money on a pair of jeans ... that's me in a nutshell.

The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.

For me, it's more like a day's work that can get me my jeans (please don't gag, I'm just stating facts).
You know, if I didn't have credit cards and insurance and gas and whatever little surprises life (or my car) throws at me....
I did a similar thing that the author did when I first started college. Granted, it was waaay less than 11, but I did manage to max them all out. It's only this past year and a half where I started to pay all of them off. I still have 1 left to pay off, but it's being such a bitch because payments for other stuff (not enough money for textbooks, cellphone bills higher than usual, parking permits) keep coming up; and what's worse than that is that I keep seeing different things I want to buy.
A work in progress, that's what my financial maturity is. But I'm not exactly struggling for gas money any more, so it's a step!
A solution to the author's picking on young adults buying expensive jeans?
None other than HF, duh.

don't agree with #2 as college is supposed to be where start figuring things out (not to say that you DO figure them out). once ppl start working out of hs, the paycheck (no matter how little) is hard to let go for the education that costs money. she should have made this argument about graduate school.

I didn't know what I wanted to do when I started college, but if I had taken time off away from school under the premise of figuring things out, I may never have gone back. I have friends who took a year off from school and never ended up going back, or are struggling to get their degrees years later. I know that it has worked for some people, but I definitely don't think I would have been one of those people that succeeded if I had followed that particular path. Different strokes, though.

I would argue that starting college right after high school is important. I know a lot of people who started working $25,000 a year jobs right out of high school and never bothered to earn a degree because they thought they were living the high life. In reality that kind of money is chump change. The key is to major in something that will land you a good paying job, business, IT, engineering, etc. It may seems romantic to study philosophy or art but when you're 30 with a kid and a mortgage and only making $35,000 a year you might start to see things differently.
Hollywood wants us to think that we must have a career we love to be happy. Reality, however, demands that we do something we can just tolerate in order to pay the bills. Do the things you love for a hobby.

Point #2 of this article - waiting to go to college - only works if you also follow point #4 - don't stagnate.
