Welcome!

Man, I’ve never felt so broke! Compared with the amount I had the beginning of the year until now I ask myself, where the hell did it go? Am I honestly that bad with money? Can I name anything really memorable that I bought? This is exactly the reason why I started this blog. As a student and for many young adults, paychecks are spent paycheck to paycheck. Savings? Of course it’s a great notion but how many young people do it and if so is it at least 10% of that check. Well I’m saying my savings was not consistent with paychecks and now that I am unemployed for this summer, my slowly depleting accounts surely have me sweating from keeping away from the temptations of ‘wants’ and the use of a credit card. This blog is meant to help educate me as well as my readers understand their financial responsibility to ensure a stable future.

    awesome!! another college student who's also worried about money and stuff! I'm in the same sticky place, but hopefully we can get jobs and research positions so we're not so penniless later on.

    Just curious, have you started to look for on campus jobs or anything? I'm just starting out and everyone tells me that I should wait til second semester or sophmore year to do all that crazy stuff like clubs and jobs. What did you/are you doing?

    I actually had two jobs my freshman year of college, and they were on campus. I mean my parents didn't know I had jobs but if you keep it on the down low and it does not effect your grade it should be no problem.

    Now entering my second year its going to be way more busier than last year but I'm desperately trying to find a second job.

    And clubs join them as soon as you get on campus! What school will you be going to?

    I'm going to Georgia Tech. Actually, I'm planning on joining their co-op program so from second year onward I should be ok about jobs. But its just the first year.

    How were you able to balance two jobs + school?

    I actually have a pretty busy class schedule, plus its GT so its going to be a hard year for me. So I was thinking of free-lance writing. I hope I find work!

    Good luck with your job search!
