Sounds like you should take an economics class. Since "money will be tight" have you considered forgoing the expensive cell phone? Students did quite well in the recent past with a cheap landline (shared with roommates) or use Skype. Hmmm, do you have cable TV, large flat screen TV, go to Starbucks for $4 coffee (perhaps a cookie, and a coffee to go), drive a car, new computer, a nice stereo, live alone? How many credit cards do you have and how many have revolving debt? You wrote this article because you had to have those so called "decent services" for your cell phone. Time to make friends with a lawyer in that grad school as I see foreclosure or bankruptcy in your future, as with so many others that can't control their spending urges.
