Barry knows what it's like to spend a week eating nothing but Eggo waffles and soda crackers. He's gone for weeks at a time without proper toilet paper, and he knows how to make his money last.
Barry's column, "Ask Barry", is just his way of giving back to the bachelors, the starving students, and the budget-conscious singles.
Hopefully, Barry's wisdom can help make your bachelor life a little bit more bearable.
Distraught In Denver
Written by Barry
Dear Barry:
My dad told me he won't pay for any more of my college credits. I have no job, and only 15 bucks to my name. I don't qualify for many
scholarships and grants because I am still a high school student. If you have
any ideas how I can make up my tuition for my books and following semesters I
would greatly apreciate it.
Distraught In Denver
Dear Distraught,
Life is full of risks and gambles. And if you were old enough, I'd suggest online poker. But life--and state gambling laws--just aren't fair. So Distraught, all I can suggest is that you stay in school, and work on your pouty look, because I'm sure dad would rather shell out college money for his daughter's future career, than have her living at home until she's thirty.
