11.14.08 | The Challenge
-Sigh-
Well, this is my second blog and so far I haven’t saved up much money. To be honest with you all, I haven’t saved any money. I’m currently in the process of finding a part time or full time job depending on what the hours are like. This semester of college has been extremely busy for me. Especially considering the fact that I resigned from my previous job the same week school started back. There was a serious conflict in my school and work schedule so I had to chose which one was more important. Don’t count me out though, I still plan on actually opening up an ing account and saving up $500 before this year is over. My plan is to make at least $300 a week. From every check that I receive I’ll take out $50 to keep for my own personal use and deposit the $250 into my ing account. That way I’ll have the $500 already saved up within 2 weeks! I know I can do it, I just have to be persistent with it. The real challenge for me right now is trying to find a job! Well, that’s all I have to type for now my fellow scholarship pointers. Unitl now, then and later. ;O—-PEACEEEEE. OUT!
The Student Credit Blog is sponsored in part by:
[...] Everyone is talking about how they’ll save money, about how they’ve committed to putting money aside. Except for a few folks doing the soda can recycling thing, no one is talking about how to bring more money in the door. Saving is easier when you have more money to work with – which seems like a blatantly obvious, trite thing to say, except that it’s not on anyone’s radar. [...]

Read the previous blog. Sometimes its better to plan less savings and more in your pocket. Being too aggressive often backfires if you don’t leave yourself enough cash for things that come up.
I would advise making a balanced plan over the next 6 weeks which puts in a reasonable amount for savings and keeps some aside for things that come up. That way it will be easier to avoid taking money back out to cover them.
