Our goal is to put $200 away every week for next semester’s tuition, and pay $250 a week on the credit cards. It’s doable, but will take focus and discipline. Once we’ve got the tuition together we’re going to save for next year’s taxes, and then for our move to the UK next year.
I’ve been doing great on this one. I think I’ve finally broken the late-night TV watching habit. For one thing, I’m going to bed by 11, and if I’m not quite ready to sleep I read instead. So now I’m also rested enough to be functional in the morning, which is great. No more staying up until 1 or 2am and channel-surfing. There’s just way too much to do in life to sit around watching TV.
I might try to pick up a few more piano students, but it has occurred to me that I work enough as it is, and as nice as the money might be, I’d rather just have the time.
