"I'm getting a job soon so X dollars won't matter" - Me (no job yet)
Never be so sure
in his case, he probably doesn't need the $30 before he makes however much he's making
but to put it in perspective, he views it as chump change to how much he will have soon
just as I went and spent almost all of my cash on a new laptop, because it's chump change in comparison to how much i'll make on coop
but I saved enough for how much i'll need until my first paycheck, as he probably did too
since he'll probably not have to pay for food/housing/transportation, he probably needs $0 inbetween
nothing wrong with spending everything while knowing you're in the clear in the near future
