I give up!

On keeping up with my money. Between school and financing this trip to England, I really just don't care to keep up with my CC debt or the SL I took out to help pay for England and that I'll use pay off my CC. At least I have it all on one card.

I still manage to save a few pennies and I opened a way 2 save account with Wachovia. It's an answer to Bank of America's keep the change. Except it socks away a dollar for every transaction. I think I fell for the marketing hype. I originally opened it to hold the money for England but you can only make deposits from the dollar for every transaction.

Speaking of England, I'm trying not to worry about the exchange rate. I'm really worried about the fees for using a CC.

I've given up on trying to live beneath my stipend. I'm still paying on my CC and saving so I should get to overspend.

I get another $300 from SC and I get my rebate, too. yay.

I still think I can be debt free by 35 even though my SLs are approaching 50K. SLs might be good debt but its still debt and that interest is costing me money! And my car will hit 200K this year. So, I'll need a new one. I'll have to be creative, though. Maybe even get a job and in Charlotte and move back home. My parents aren't there during the week. They will let their first born live there for free. They love me, I'm a good daughter. A broke one, but a good one. Another reason for me to get married, yay for a 2 income household.
