When I was in college, amongst my friends, I was the one who was constantly broke, because I didn't bother to work during the school year, and didn't have a healthy allowance from parents who were spoiling me. One of the best compliments I've ever gotten was from my friend Ox, who said "You somehow manage to have more fun with less money than anyone I know," and I've tried to live up to that ever since. I could easily go back to a fairly austere lifestyle, and still be happy.

So, why did you study law at all, if you are not in it for the money? It would take quite a peculiar individual to actually like being a lawyer for the sake of it.
