Was lucky enough to get a scholarship that paid for my Master degree in Computer Science (no way I could have afforded it myself). Before graduating I had 2 job offers from big IT companies.
Started a family and drove a Mazda 3 (loved that car) for 3 more years so I could save for nicer car and house; last year we bought our first house and a very nice 09 CPO 328 with 27k miles on it. 2 more years to pay it off and loving every time on it. Now we have house, car, baby and dog; life is complete.
