Good: Your car will be fixed.

Bad:It still all adds up.
Good: Not in my lifetime.
Bad: In yours!

tmt kind of sounds like tmnt which means teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Come on, sack up and ride your bike to work. What would that be, leaving at 5 or so?

i have found similar problems. once you have real paycheck, it seems like a lot more of that paycheck is gone for "real-life" associated costs than when you can roll out of bed at noon and ride your bike to school for 3 hours of work.
