17. Conclusion
I have learned that buying your own stuff and paying your own bills is harder than I thought it would be. I am going to be in this situation in a few years, so I am glad I had this practice.
If I had to do it over again I would do a couple things differently. I would pick a better car, because the one that I picked is really cheap! I would also look at a better insurance plan, because I would rather have better coverage than a basic package.
