I pay my share in taxes. I may not have income taxes, but everything I purchase gets a nice chunk of sales tax added on. If I didn't have sales tax I would probably paying a similar amount through income. And on my last paycheck, 27% went to the federal government, so I only saw 449 for 2 weeks worth of work. Not much to live on after car payment, gas and food. Thank goodness I can live with my parents for the summer

Marcus; you do know that your dad is already being depended (is there such a word?) on... and so are the dads/moms/working-folk in your state (assuming you're going to a subsidized university).

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with getting a degree from a state/local govt university; just making sure you understand that everyone who pays taxes in your area... is being "depended on" to help chip in.

I know what you are saying from that tax stand poor but I am saying I don't want my dad to have to write a check each semester for classes housing food and what ever else needs to pay, I want to pay that on my own to it will be worth more to me. I am going through college with as little loan money as possible.

You seemed kind of stressed about it
Bright side...you are almost finished! And at least you aren't a freshman looking at the price increase and just starting your education!
