So true...you can also substitute any subset of the population in the quote instead of athletes of course.

Excellent suggestion, though! But you already told me I'm not allowed to bring a trashy date. Actually, it was Sam that I cut out. Excellent suggestion, though!

We're giving you a present by feeding you and giving you an open bar all night. In fact, you could combine your number one money drain (women) and your number four (weddings) and solve 2 problems in one. It's a free luxury all expenses paid for date! Just swing by CVS and pick up a nice card ($4 max) and tell her you'll put a check in it. Then, on the sly, you can write in the margin, "I owe you a beer" and we'll call it even.

I am 23 and I have actually started to manage my finances a lot better since middle of last year. I do admit to spending lots of money on women in my early 20's.

What you could do to lower your bars expenses and women expenses is to find a stable girlfriend ( kinda hard since most 20 something women that I meet are very unstable ;-) ( just kidding ladies)) and try cooking for her and maybe she could try cooking for you. That way you could enjoy a romantic dinner together in the convenience of your own home.. You could still go out but at least you could do it less often..
