On Grace's side, being a student, she didn't have a car, but that didn't mean that she was poor or broke.
Her family was a bit well off, not too much, but not too bad. She was a straight-A student, and scholarships were her daily bread and it saved her a lot when it came to tuition and other expenses she incurred while studying.
At the same time, being a local made it even easier for her, since she didn't need to pay rent. She lived with her parents, so the adults carried other costs.
At the age of nineteen, apart from school, she also works part-time, and money from that helps her quite a lot to satisfy her personal needs. Her parents don't interfere with her extracurricular activities as long as she passes her grades at the end of the semester.
Moreover, there wasn't much that interested her until she found Diamond earlier that year and fell head over heels for her.
