Yes I can not save that much, if any at all. Sometimes I will get money from other sources, but that's not very often.

I pay for my rent, utilities, cable, food, gas, and gym so i'm pretty much broke at the end of each month. I have enough put back for next semesters tuition but thats about it.

I just really wish there was a basic money guide for guys in their 20's. Like where all the terminology is explained. sometimes I'm reading stuff on this board and I understand the main concept of things but then it gets to talk with a lot of different acronyms and obscure terms that I just have no idea about.

Term Glossaries

I've read most of The Truth About Money by Ric Edelman on the suggestion of a friend, I found it to be a very good intro on the basics of investing, particularly long-term investing.

I'm serious here. Call Dave Ramsey's show during show hours and explain what is going on with you and I'm sure he will send you some of his books and materials for free. He does that all the time for folks in your situation.
