Yeah, college kids are often indoctrinated that way. Don’t live the good life, live a proper zero-impact one like those poor exploited farmers in that overpopulated latin american country. Get used to living in a tiny room in a dormitory, bumming rides off of people, living off kraft dinner seasoned with sardines. Heck, students get to thinking they could live the rest of their life that way!
Nothing wrong with living within your means. But, I have to say that after 3 years of being poor, I was ready to graduate and start making some money.
You say that like it's bad or something.
