I pretty much pay for everything I need on my own. My tuition is covered by scholarships and a small loan. When I live at school, I pay my rent, utilities, groceries, clothes, books, gas, etc. I know my parents can't afford it, so I got a job when I was 15 and started paying myself. I think working at an early age taught me to be responsible, how to manage my time, and how to save my money.
That being said, I have absolutely nothing against anyone whose parents pay their way. If my parents had the money, I'm sure they would help me out too. There's a difference between a person who is appreciative of their parents' help and a person who expects the world on a silver platter.
