Make the most of today.

money, money, money....

I'm stressed to the maximum!

Life's been busy and it seems like all I'm doing is worrying about money...

*-I have decided to go back to school and get my Bachelors degree. I'm also going to continue to keep making student loan payments on my other degree. I'm not ready to take all those pointless classes that have nothing to do with my degree and spend $40,000 doing it. Oh well - it's a requirement to get a good job I guess. So I start on Monday.

*-I had to get a new camera a few weeks ago...my old one was put through hell and back. Being dropped numerous times, and it also got soaked in sunscreen. After that, and more it still continued to work, but finally decided to quit on me two days before my birthday. So I had to go and buy myself a birthday gift.

*-My car needs new tires real soon, they are very close to being bald.

*-I've had bad luck with electronics so far in '10 - and on Saturday my phone decided it jump out of my pocket and conveniently land into a toilet. And "stupid" me quickly grabbed it out of the toilet and immediately turned it on to see if it still worked. Who knew that water and electricity did not mix? Needless to say - it still hasn't turned on. So I had to go and get a new phone.

*-I am gonna be moving out of my current place to live with a different friend. My rent amount will more than likely increase by about $150-200 a month - but it will also help me to pay more attention to my monthly budgets.

*-I'm sick of throwing money away on rent. I want a house (if you know me personally you know I've been wanting one since I graduated more than anything). I've been looking and will continue to look everyday until I find something nice in my price range. I intend to put away at least $150 every month to save up for a house.

My paycheck is nothing spectacular - and I just turned 21. So money is tight and the stress is plentiful.

I miss the days when my biggest decision was what to play at recess...
