School starts and the money burns

Yikes, I am suffering from major sticker shock.

Between the three of us, we are all going to school. So, after getting school supplies for all of us, I fear my bank account is ready to burst into flames.

I tried hard not to look at my Book costs, since I know they are always outrageous, but this time I accidentally saw the price for just my books. $250.00 for just two classes. Fortunately, I already had the textbook for my Biology class otherwise it would have been another $100.00
