The most surprising thing about my budget would have to be the price. I knew that college wasn't the least bit cheap but... wow! It cost about $22,500 just for one year ta Texas A&M! Sure it covers the books, supplies, transportation, and a place to call home but thats a lot of money. Unless I win the lottery, or find 100,000, I will need financial aid to pay for that after I graduate. No question that it will be hard to have all those responsibilities, but I believe I am ready to peruse that next part of my life.
