The best thing you can do at 16 is STAY IN SCHOOL. Go to college and do whatever you can to stay out of trouble (women). After you finish college, everything will become available for you.

yeah good advice! Also, the career doesn't determine your financial status. It's the spending choices. Think of it this way: are transients in debt?

Baldy, You need to get some help with BASIC budgeting. Calll the local office for Consumer Credit Counseling. They are an established non-profit organization. They will look at you expenses and income and help you plan a budget.

If all else fails go to the beach, find a small tuberous marine creature, and molest it!
