Alright, I really really don't want to post this thread in dollar den, because it's for the dancers, and quite honestly I think some of the blue members that post in dollar den are pretty unfriendly. I'm also not asking for advice.
But, I thought that in light of the "good money" thread, it might be interesting to talk about our savings habits. I'll go first.
Every night, no matter what, I put 20 dollars aside to go into my "have something to show for dancing after I quit" savings account that I don't touch for any reason barring SERIOUS emergency.
I also have one of those recurring investment plans with t rowe price where they take 50 dollars out of your checking account every month and invest it in a mutual fund.
Now, I know this doesn't sound like that much, but this year I've just started to pay attention to money management. I'm also a full time student-my schooling costs about 8000 a year plus books, etc. I'm also working on paying down my credit card debt. In january, I was about 9,500 in debt. I've paid it down to 4,600. Once the credit card gets paid off, more money will go for savings.
How about everyone else?
