Education ain't free
It's called education, and at $5000, it's quite inexpensive education at that.
If you're worried about the money, here's a tip: don't EVER buy a rapidly depreciating vehicle with earned income. Between the taxes and the interest, you're getting killed. If you buy a vehicle that's already depreciated, it doesn't hit your income statement.
Earned income is for investing. Investment income is for motorcycles.
