About Me

Laura

In my 20's I was a teacher and a mis-manager of my money. Through a series of events in my mid-20's I woke up and began to become a manager of my money. Now, in my early 30's, although I am no longer teaching, I am still managing my money.

I am debt free. :)

My top 3 financial goals are:

1. Car Fund to $4,000

2. House Downpayment to $18k

3. Cruise 2010: $1,200.00

My top 3 personal goals are:

1. Run a 5k in 31 minutes or less.

2. Reach my goal weight by Dec. 15, 2008 (My birthday.) :)

3. Enjoy life inexpensively and whole heartedly. :)

Emergency Fund:

(6 months Expenses Only)

100% funded.

Since May 2006:

Disappointed

You know, I really should have checked the dates before I got so excited and started putting money in a special fund.

So, if you remember from my last post, I had saved enough to go see Kenny G with a friend. Today at lunch I went to the website to purchase my two tickets, and was greeted with the fact that October 1 and October 2 are WEEKDAYS!

I could probably handle going to a concert on a weeknight, and getting home late. But my friend T more than likely won�t be able to do it. I hate to not go with her, because its almost become like a tradition. Anyone else I can think of, probably wouldn�t want to do it on a weeknight either.

I don�t want to go alone � especially at night in downtown Dallas.

So . . . I guess I�m going to have to pass on this one. I will check with T to be certain, but it not only is a weeknight, but it is a schoolnight for her as well.

Ugh.

Oh that is disappointing! Maybe the money can go to the car fund instead.

Bummer, it sounded like you were really looking forward to it. Maybe you can use the money for something just as fun!

Oh, what a shame! They are always doing that here. They used to put things for kids in the middle of the school week, and I could never figure out why. Keep an eye out. Maybe you can do something else with your friend that you've always wanted to do.

I hate that!...I've missed more than one concert because of that...(of course, I've missed a lot more because I just didn't have the $$$!)

Thanks everyone.

I'm thinking I'm going to use a combination of what creditcardfree and MileHigh suggested.

I'm going to send $37 to my Car Fund, then put the remaining $30 towards my "Social" budget.

Like Jan suggested, maybe I could use that $30 to do something with T - maybe go to another movie with her.

Miclason - if it hadn't been for the fact that it was Kenny G, the money would've gone elsewhere (to savings).
