Do whatever makes you happy, boys. Some of us live for "the now", some plan for retirement, and some of us are foolish enough to try both (like me).
D-Dub: I was out of school for over 4 years, went back to college when I was 22, graduated when I was 24. It was DAMN tough for the first month or so, but after that, it was butter for me. Actually, the last 3 months were... interesting because I was hired before grad by my current employer, so we thankfully juggled my courseload and work schedule to allow me to both graduate and earn some coin at the same time (7:30 - 11:30AM at the office, 12:30 - 4:30 at college).
It's more than I'd realistically put in to a Focus, but hell, it's not MY Focus.
Actually, Jay reminds me of me when I was 18-21ish, no responsibilities (take it in the context it's meant - wife, kids, yadda yadda) and blowing every last cent of disposable income whenever possible. I was there, so I understand what's going on here completely. It will pass, and with luck, you'll have no negative side effects from your "wild and free" days.
The only recommendation that I would make is that you go back to school sooner rather than later. Your disposable income will love you more for having a fatter wallet :)
