Hello????? are you listening to yourself. Of course your senior year is worth it... BUT why are you spending so much money? What are your parent buying? Maybe you need to scale back on what they are buying and just get the basics.

I would like to know what your spending so much money on. Your parents are helping you pay for what? Are they helping you pay for High School? Just wondering about that. But you can look at it this way, there are only a few things in life you do once, and being a Senior in High School is one of them. You can still enjoy your last year without burning a hole in your or your parents pocket. Just get abit more creative with your money. Because if you think being a Senior in High School is expensive, and you don't learn to curb your spending now, what do you think college costs?? Sure go ahead and enjoy High School, make memories, just don't go all out, because then you will have the same problem,,in College, but asking the same question as a Senior there.

You are only a senior once so enjoy it. You worked hard to get there. Be as careful as you can and try to bargain shop some of your items. This is an important milestone in your life so participate to the fullest. If you go to college you will find out that the senior year is a super dud time. So go all out now!

Do you mean like nice clothes and stuff for parties, you don't have to have a new outfit every week to have a good time. Just hang out with your friends and make memories. Don't go to far in debt that way you can go to college or have money for an apartment and stuff when you hit the real world.

Well I had enough credits that I got out at mid-term and I was glad about it. I could see the last semester was a lot of ceremony with most people taking the last required 3-hour credit course and 6 more of elective courses.
Depends on if you love the cliques. Last semester is all about socializing.

I hate to admit it, but pieces of paper are VERY important in today's economy. A couple of bucks now, will be invaluable later. High school is just a stepping stone. Think about a river. If you miss one stone, it's very difficult to cross to the green side. Besides, your parents knew having children would be costly and their responsibility. They and you, will NEVER regret finishing high school. I can't say the same about dropping out.

Senior year will be a very memorable year as you get older. I dont recommend going NUTS and getting into debt but It only comes along once in life, except of course college grad. Enjoy and just remember when you have kids, SAVE EARLY...LOL

No, you've probably already done enough. A good bit of it won't matter to you at all 6 months from now so think hard and ask yourself if it will matter before you buy.

Your last year in highschool is an exciting time, but next year will be college and its more expensive than highschool. I suggest you save your money for when you're away from home. Its more important that you have room and bored than a limo for prom.
