If it is one thing I have learned during my unemployment, it is that saving money is very important (duh, right?). It is a huge goal of mine to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.

I finally got a job! I don’t have to move out of my apartment, and this is not a restaurant job! So it is something new! New is good.

I am going to have to work extra hard to save up the money I have spent over the last two months. I also have to pay my mom back.

I want to learn how to be fiscally responsible, so I can take care of myself in the future. The way the economy is now, it is important I learn to save.
