I'm fortunate enough to have a job where I can live comfortably off of one of my two paychecks a month, so I'm saving ~ $2000 a month ...I have a well-paying job but my whole first year of savings is going into student loans, including the midyear bonus i just got
. My girl says that I can be cheap sometimes
but in the sense that I don't ever buy new clothes and such for myself, even if I'll still pay for her meals/tickets. She got mad cause I went to look at Sperrys, saw that they were cose to $100 and instead got some GBX shoes from sears to wear to work instead
. Oh well, my goal is to be debt-free by 25. Unless there's an easily liquidable investment that returns 5% or better, I just wanna get rid of my student debt asap...
Anyone have any tips on stacking? My tip is to set a hard budget and save half of any unexpected money you come across- but the rest is for your to spend on anything you want. That way you're still able to enjoy yourself-guilt free when some $$ comes your way while still saving more than you think you are.
