Incoming income!!!

I sort of pride myself for being a little bit of a savvy money maker/money saver when I need to be. I'm not really talking about budgeting or learning how to not spend on "wants" (these are things I'm trying to learn), but I'm talking about buying/selling books for school (now a hobby), rebates, finding free things to sign up for without a lot of time or hassle, using credit card reward points, MyCokeReward points (but not my Coke!), and points from survey websites (such as epoll.com, which I've been using for forever so I've accumulated a ton of points) I've basically made a good couple hundred dollars since I stopped working at Ricardo.

The income is still flowing just a little bit but I am spending it faster than I was when I was working... a good kick in the pants that I need to take advantage of working (if I go back or pick up another internship next summer) and madly save.

How does the quote go? I think it's something like "live like you're in college when you're in college so you don't have to live like you're in college when you're out of college."
