So its wonderful 2012 this means i get to travel next year !!!!

woot

so things havent exactly been going to plan with the savings recently as we had xmas and i had like a month off work and then moved house and had to pay bill snad soo all the money i got for christmas pretty much got spent on living instead of put into my savings account liek it should have been.

however uni has started once again for me im currently doing summer school as well as working and so hopefully i can live off my 160 a week from the govt while putting my wages into my savings account. i would love to save upwards of $16000 as we have been working on an itinerary and im soo gonna need more money :(

so any ideas on how to get more is much appreciated :)

i have reached $2000.00 Woot!!!!
i got a new job one that pays better, of course this compromised my student allowance but hey who am i to complain

so its summer time and im finally workign semi full time however end of year costs like rent and bond and xmas are stacking up and i havent had much money to actually put into my savings account and still live so im thinking next year im gonna live real cheap haha and try and save all my pay checks

working two jobs and studying full time is a hard and busy life style.
in order to save enough money to go on the OE of a life time, i have picked up a second job. however my new job is right in the area i want to have a career so while funding my overseas experience i am also gaining invaluable experience so by the time i graduate ill have on the job experience in the hotel business :D woot !!!!

however workiing 17.5 hours in one job and 5 hours in the other plus 85% of assignments due this week is a sure fire way to stress a person out

to start i am going to open an account with a bank other than the one i currently use to help save this enourmous amount fo money to be able to pay back some of what i owe my grandfather, as well as a trip to asia and into europe and followed into an internship for disney florida usa.

though i am currently studying at university and only work part time, i can only save around $50 to $100 each week which is severely less than the $222 i need to save each week.

i am going to give up buying coffee’s, as well as saving my pay check each week and trying to live soley off the money i recieve from the government while i study.
