Net Worth Update: June 2009
My apologies in advance… this month’s net worth update isn’t terribly exciting! Change: -$80 or -0.21 % Down, but not too terribly much. It’s to be expected, since I’m still (yes, still) looking for a job and living off of freelance income from “side hustles” such as this blog, and knitting. Despite the small downturn (look how tiny it looks on the graph!), here are

Moving: Making the Decision, Part 2
This is a continuation of Moving: Making the Decision, where I talked about the budget I made to help me decide if I could afford to live on my own for the year following college. The budget I made can be downloaded as a PDF, if it helps you to follow along. If you’re just joining us now, please go back and read part 1 first… Housing After taxes, it’s the most important thing you’ll have to pay for. Run the numbers for living at home, but remember to compare the numbers for living at home to jobs that you

The Government’s Student Bailout: Federal Loan Changes
It’s not the billions received by AIG and the car companies, but at least it’s something The following is a guest post by Emily, a 20 something single gal who writes about navigating her way through her finances and the world, at Musings and Ruminations of a Single Gal. Like so many other graduate students, I’m facing the probability of an enormous amount of student loan debt (upwards of $100,000 in my case, since I’m a law student) and not such a large starting salary. While it is possible for some law grads to start out with a six-figure salary, those grads a

I managed to graduate, which means I have to start real life stuff now. Like moving out of my parents’ house and getting a job. Pssh – I don’t remember signing up for this! But life moves on and I am, in fact, moving on. Moving on out of state, that is! And there’s a lot of ground to cover: packing, getting an apartment, (getting a job), re-registering my vehicle, getting off my parent’s insurance and cell phone plans… and a bunch of things that I know I haven’t even thought of yet.
