Thank GOD for lessons learned...

So my 25th birthday is Thursday and Memorial Day is around the corner. You may be asking what those two dates have in common.... I WILL BE BROKE - NO MONEY TO SPEND... It is my 25th birthday and all I can think about is, please Lord do not let me spend a lot or any money because GOD knows I can not afford it. I would love to do something extravagant but I can not afford it. My friends want to go to dinner and a lounge but who can afford that and of course I would need a new outfit (shoes, hair, dress, necklace). Memorial Day - my friends are going on vacation. I can not afford to go. My debt has me so wrapped up that I do not have spare cash for anything. No money for hotel, food, clothes, and transportation.

SO you might be asking.... Why is the girl complaining so? I am not complaining I am just giving thanks to GOD for allowing me to learn these lessons at the age of 25 instead of 30, 40, 50, or even 60.


UPDATE: I might be working for the after school program at my school for the remaining 6 weeks at $30 an hour. The director of the after school program shouted it in the hallway but she has so much to remember who knows, but I am surely going to to talk to her tomorrow in the early AM. The Math School Based Professional Developer asked me last Thursday to give up my Thursday evenings from 4- 7 for the next 6 weeks to complete a master teacher math program. I will earn $900 for my time and also receive a $325 grade level math certificate for any supplies I see fit. Man that made me so happy. Lastly, I applying for a grant from ING, hopefully I will get it. I need the money for a project next year.

SUMMER - No job as of yet. I am still working on it. I have a phone interview to return on Monday.

Better finance update later, three paychecks this month. I plan on really tackling some things.
