ButterflyI just bought

a playstation 3. With no “how am I going to pay the rent this week?” attached to it. Such a good feeling :D

I need to focus on saving now, but thankfully I’ve always been good at that. 10 months ago

ButterflyI'm not there yet

but I’m getting closer.

I went out with a friend last night and was able to buy her a drink without worrying about how it would affect the rest of my week regarding rent, bills, food etc.

It was a good feeling! 11 months ago

AailuterNext Step

I just sold enough at my latest art show to let me start putting some aside for a few month’s income, to get ahead of the curve. This is a welcome development, and I hope to build on it as I get more work done – and sell more, too. 17 months ago

AailuterHere goes.

If all goes well, this should begin to be able to start happening after my next art show. (November 2011). They usually sell well.
This show will hopefully give me enough money to set aside six month’s income. That is something I have never done before – actually kept ahold of money! – and should go along way towards relieving stress and worry as right now I’m broke month to month, and often borrowing from friends. Urgh.

This set of savings is my first priority. Then there are bills that have to be taken care of, then bills that can be taken care of slightly down the line. If all this is taken care of, then I can plan for extra things like home improvement or some travel or goodies:)

I finally also sat down and made a giant list of just about everything in my life – from the big to the little, from the practical to the vague. It’s huge – but helpful. It reassures me, knowing it’s all there, and I can just tinker with it – and plan. 19 months ago

FirnsangSort of a financial catchall goal...

I have a few different things I’m working on financially. I’m a college student at the moment with very little income, but as soon as I can pick up another job or a few more projects, I want to start working and keeping track of these things -

Credit: Keeping credit card balances below 10-15%, paying bills on time, etc. Whatever I can do to make my future mortgage sweeter.

Debt: Whittling down my student loans and not taking on unnecessary debt. Living militantly within my means.

Savings: Putting away as much $ as possible. I’d really like to have $3000-$5000 in my savings and a $1000 cushion in checking as soon as I can. I’d have to work and scrimp a LOT to pull that together in the next year or two.

So yeah, I have my work cut out for me. 23 months ago
