Let me re-iterate. I think your goal for 2k is great, but please do not buy a car while you are making $4 an hour or whatever. Why did you go to college rather than go straight to working after high school? Most likely it was so you can get a good paying job later on in life. You are foregoing money and things you want now, so as to have a better job later. Poker is exactly same, except its easier to get rich playing poker than by getting a degree.
