Rockey,

Save what you can, when you can. Remember, eventually it is not your degree but your benjamins that buy you your dream house, cars, vacations, etc. If you play properly, your 4thou savings of today could yield 10thou by the time you graduate. But it will take time away from everything you do so passionately.

Plan on having a good sum of money when you come out of college, and yes, if you think you have quite a lot, get out of college right now and get into the business of making money.
