Other things to consider: try a new sport, book club, volenteer, tutor, sing at church. as far as the other things, the best cell fones are T mobile or verizon. if you r a big eater like me, dont work at a restaurant. good jobs are at a library, movie theatre, at the YMCA, caddy, or workingat a place like a grocery store. Car, toyotas make the best used cars. laptop, ur on ur own |

I would recommend that you volunteer for a community service organization for 20 hours a week, like Boys & Girls Club or Adult Literacy Campaign, instead of getting a job. If you need a job, apply in retail (NOT FAST FOOD!) As for a car, I recommend Saturn vehicles. They're the safest on the road, very affordable, and have nice stereos in them. For a sport I recommend martial arts or gymnastics (even for a guy!). Competition is very heavy in most sports, so pick one that you can actually get something out of! As for cellular service, I use Sprint and I love it. |

It is a shame that most people don't get involved with it until they reach retirement age. This can range from carving to turning to building projects. One of the small pick up trucks is like a Chevy S-10 is an excellent choice of vehicle. While being reasonable on gas mileage this will usually get you one of the lowest insurance rates. You can also use it to earn a few extra dollars by moving items for people.
