At the current moment, I need to save my money up for books and school stuff, but with scholarships and such, I can pay for a significant portion of my tuition, leaving ~5k left over to pay for.
Obv that's not something very fun to save up for. Ideally, once I have the ability to save for something other than school, I'm going to save up some money to get my firearms license, and I'm going to buy some parts to put together an AR15. I haven't decided whether I'm going to go with a stripped or complete lower/upper yet - I think going with the stripped would help me learn more and be able to more easily fix anything that breaks. I live in a state that has a lot of problems with crime, home invasions, etc in much of the state, so there isn't much reason to not keep at least a handgun apart from political ideology.
