I'm going to pay off my credit cards and my mom. My brother I'll keep making payments too. I can't really do a savings account before moving because I just don't have that kind of time. But I put in a plan to save while I'm moved out. Doesn't cover me in case of a calamity but at least I'm not pushed to the limits financially each month.
I also learned through budgeting that if I plan to use my credit card for certain things, (like gas) and pay it off at the end of the month; I'll actually be doing better credit wise and financially have more expendable income. Because I won't have the minimum payment to make and my gas part of the budget goes to paying my credit card. It gave me a little extra money. I'll test it and see how it goes. I just won money at the casino, on casino cash so I'm paying off one of my credit cards. I opened a Roth IRA, kind of prematurely but I'm trying to give myself a place to save to for my future. I've given up on owning a home, my daughter is nearly grown and I don't mind apartments. Besides my mom has said there's a lot more expenses to ownership and renting isn't all bad. I'll be moving in June. I'm going to pay my mom extra so she's paid off in May. My credit cards will both be paid off by than too. __________________ Son: 14, 12/15/2009 R.I.P.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
