College Budget
I was very surprised by my budget results because I thought that it would be more strained however it was not too bad and I ended up being able to pay all of my expenses making about $1,600 a month and having a small amount left over. I believe that I am not yet 100% prepared for this tremendous amount of responsibility, however I am sure that I will be in a couple of years. I did began to realize that once I go off to college I will have many responsibilities, and that it is important that I be as mature as possible with how I spend money and manage my time. Lastly, in order to prepare for these expenses I can begin working and saving up money after each paycheck.

Your statements are true. I was also surprised that it was so much. I also believe im not ready.
ReplyDeleteyes, you should start saving money now and if you spend any money make sure you spend wisely, and yes that maturity level has to be high.
ReplyDeleteyeah make sure you put some of your paycheck in your savings. that will really help out allot.
ReplyDeleteI think by the time you hit senior year you slowly start becoming more ready to take on those responsibilities. And I agree that saving now can help prepare for all of the college expenses in the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree that no one will really be 100% ready for the transition into college but you would have to mature and also be wise with your money.
