College of Cash - finding money for college

I Can Pay My Bills!

February 14th 2008 11:04
It has been a fantastic week for me. Monday was a "follow-up orientation" at my job, and while I was there I brought up getting more hours like they had mentioned in my first orientation (and possibly interview). Right after this orientation the human resources guy started working on a plan for me to get more hours. About an hour or two later he had a plan, but it had to be worked out with a few other people and he said he'd get back to me.

Today at work I found out I will be getting the extra hours! I'm so excited because now I can actually pay all of my bills. Well, I will be able to once I start working those extra hours. Recently my inflow/outflow looked like this:


incoming: $400
outgoing: $700

Those numbers are approximate, but you get the idea. I had to keep taking money out of my emergency fund. And that was killing me. I'll probably have to do so again this month, but by the end of March I will be right on track. I am very happy!

Oh, and the new inflow/outflow will look like:

incoming: $800
outgoing: $700

So, I will have about an extra $100 to help pay off the tuition credit cards faster, or to put money back into the emergency fund. I have somewhat of a plan that I may talk about soon and ask your advice. But it's hard to plan when I don't know exactly how much I'll be making.

It definitely is. I actually just started at the other branch today getting extra hours so it's nice.
