Losing hours at work... ugh.

January 25th, 2010 at 06:35 pm

Alrighty. So my federal tuition assistance went through and I'm fairly certain they're going to let me go on a payment plan. So my classes are not going to be dropped and I'm going through with the semester. Win!

In bad news, however, the company I work for isn't doing so well, so I'm losing hours. That means making 25% less... sigh. I'm going to have to pick up more tutoring or something. I'm not going to be able to make all of my bills... I'm sure there are some places I could cut back. Groceries. As it stands, if I actually have every tutoring appointment I'm supposed to have, I'm $118 short for February. And that's if my student loans get deferred and my payment plan covers 4 months.

Sigh... I wasn't expecting to pay that extra $1000 for my school this semester, so that's hurting me quite a bit.

So that kind of sucks, but if I can pick up some side jobs I'll be okay. And I'll have more time for schoolwork, so that's nice. But I have to pay my bills. I'm sure my roomates aren't going to freak out if I cant pay the full $200 every month, and I could cut back my entertainment budget. I'll make it work somehow...

For this month I'm still under budget. I would be very much under budget except I had a (yes, I'm serious) $150 library fine... That's what I get for procrastinating and whatnot. Lesson learned.

So I have to pull some fancy footwork, but I'll get in a position where I'll be paying my bills and making extra. I just have to cut back and figure out ways to make more. There are answers out there, I just have to find them. Perhaps more writing. And I could sell a few books, I'm sure. I'll get it taken care of.

Either way, I hope everyone has a great day!

    Yikes! I've had a $100 library fine before (when I was teaching .. had lots of books out two weeks late).

    I'm glad the funding finally came through. Hope you're able to pick up some more tutoring hours.

    I suggest you pay yourself $50.00 a day and buy BMO Monthly Income fund mutual fund that pays 6 cents per $8.00 unit monthly. You will be amazed how fast you can have your dividends work off your bills if you just simply put a paltry sum of $50.00 a day. I am terrible at putting aside money due to my Starbucks Coffee binges and eating out as well as having to make payments on my fancy Volvo, and have trouble saving so I decided to pay myself fifty dollars a day only to start. I hope you can do this too since this is what I am doing as a student who owns a nutrition business.
