After a year of trying I got a job and had my first day of work ever today. I will be earning $8.00 and hour to start off. My first paycheck I will have some fun with but after that I will buckle down and save the mojority of. I have various things I am saving for including a computer, a trip to Europe, I trip to New Mexico, A motorcycle, and a few other things mostly vacations. I have a long list of places I want to go and though I don’t have to go everywhere now I do want to get a start on saving; especially for the many international trips. I am interested in starting another savings account for long term savings and I might invest in a mutual fund but I can’t decide because the market is really bad right now- but I guess that is good for buying as long as you’re smart about what you invest in!
