College of Cash - finding money for college

Update on Dec. Goals and New Goals for Jan. 08

January 3rd 2008 15:57
I had three goals for the month of December.

Goal #1: Net worth increase of $100. Made that one by $7.

Goal #2: I didn't have to touch my EF thanks mostly to Christmas. The last part of my two school jobs also helped.

Goal #3: This one was chronicled each week, (weeks one, two and three). I surpassed my goal of $30 from surveys a little more than half way through the month. I was $16.09 over my goal.


Woohoo for making my goals! Now let's make some new ones for this month.

Goal #1: This is the same as my New Year's financial resolutions - get a job!!!

Goal #2: Make $20 from surveys this month. (They don't seem to be coming with the same frequency since I updated my profile to graduated and unemployed - hopefully this will change soon!)


I'm thinking that will be it for this month. Everything is still up in the air until I find a job. Hopefully next month I'll be ready to make goals like "pay $800 to one of the tuition credit cards."

I used them because they were at 0%. I had already used all the stafford loans that I could get. So private loans would have been at 8 or 9% or more. I'm spending less money this way. Even after the 0% goes away my cards are at 8.9% anyway - so about the same as a private loan.
