    That is a great idea. Though I live in an apartment so it has to be monthly. I use to have a part time job and still struggled, but gave that one up when I started take college classes as it would be too much. 

    Find something that  makes you a pretty good chunk monthly for a part time job. DO NOT touch this and invest it after you have 3-6 months of your expenses in an emergency fund.  from '90-2000 I made enough to pay cash for a 3 bed room 2 bathroom house and the taxes etc. When the smoke cleared I had all the money I started with plus $10,000 of my interest UNTOUCHED! I'm talking to you now in a house that was basically " Free"....I paid for it with interest and stil had " MY" money AND the 10 thousand left of interest!  It took 10 HARD years though!

    Exactly my problem. But I don't see any way around it. 

    The Key is; 1. BE PATIENT! 2.BE DISCIPLINED 3. Design your budget to where you are able to save and invest a good sized chunk of money every week/month. This might HAVE TO  include a part time job that you save 100% of your check. while living off what you make now. 5-10 yrs. from now you should have enough to pay cash for a house, cars etc. 

    Also, once you have a car paid for, keep saving in a " Car Fund" ( a well hidden envelope)  and when you have $1,000 saved put it in its own account in the bank. Then continue until you have 8- 10 thousand, then put that with what they give you for your car. It should work for a used car'!

    Feeling sick. Sore throat. Stuffed up. Achey and sore all over. Exhausted.

    Buttermilk ain't fixin' it and I'm out of Hobie's Finest. Time to fire up Black Tillie Hobie.

    I sure am sorry to hear about that cousin! Sounds like my way of curing everything won't help........as I take a big gulp out my Milwaukee's Best Ice beer can ( I do love Ice beer!).  It may be time to go see Doc Appleby!! :)  GET WELL SOON! ( and keep us up on it!)

    I apologize for the several posts. I have no idea what happened there other than when I originally posted the first post the screen darkened and nothing happened so I tried again. When I refreshed the page all the other posts were there. I tried to delete them and could only find how to edit them. How dumb can I be? Well y'all just found out. :)

    Nah! I've done that before....and  I graduated with one of the highest temperatures in my class!!  :)
