I know for a time after i was out of school, i would spend more or less money depending on what friends i was with- either ones who were spending money b/c they had jobs(more) or ones who were still in school (less). Good point. @ Rachel:

While a student, you are surrounded by other students all who are likely to have little money and so you all live similar lifestyles. Once you start work you start mixing with people with more money as you may work with people who are paid more than you or they may have spouses who earn a lot. I think that this is when you are likely to start spending money and getting yourself into trouble, especially if you are paying off the student loan as well.
