Become Financially Independent

I’ve been paying for my own car insurance since I was 18.
However, I was on my parent’s policy.
This year, they had an accident which made my rates go up.
Backwards, I know.
So I called up gieco and got my own insurance policy like a big girl!
I saved nearly $500, and I even got a good student discount since I’ve raised my gpa :D

Also, it’s not much but I started paying my parents $200 rent for living in their garage apt. It’s worth much more, but I help out around the house also, and it’s all I can afford right now. I was living rent free here last semester.

I really need to start tithing though because I know that financial blessings come from God.

I’m a junior in college.
I have 2 part-time jobs
I pay for:
car insurance
medication
food
gas
school supplies

I don’t pay for:
Health insurance
rent

I got paid today

I just paid my first phone bill.

so I took on more hours at work and today I bought a pay-as-you go cell phone. I’m out of my parent’s cell phone plan, and I didn’t have to sign a contract. 30 bucks a month. :D
It may not seem like a lot—but it’s one step close to financial independance than I was yesterday.
I also haven’t been to a restaurant since the $7 sandwhich fiasco!

I’m in the hole
