I pissed away all my money going out, drinking, weed, eating out, and useless purchases. I felt like after growing up illegal and not being able to do most of those things I finally had the chance to do them, having not grown up that way, I realized quickly how foolish this materialistic culture that drives this country really is, having been an outsider for so long. I was also fortunate enough to have an incredible economics professor in college who had similar ideologies and criticism of America and its culture.

That coupled with the fact that DACA was never a permanent thing were all the reasons in the world to save money rather than pissing it away like many in this country do. And most of the time get little to no return for it.

It's beyond idiotic.
