I was poor because I had to pay for those things...on top of rent, groceries, and tuition. We also got married just before I turned 24, so from about 22.5 until then I was saving for wedding costs, too. Mom and dad couldn't afford to foot the bill on any of this for me, as I was the eldest of 3 with a sibling still at home and another in college, as well.
