Hey

Hey all. So this is a personal finance blog where I'm going to be talking about my experiences with saving and paying off debt and such.

At the moment, I'm saving for a wedding, trying to help my mom pay off debt so she can come, and trying to pay off my (soon to be growing) student loan.

I work as a teacher aide, helping with reading groups, ICT things, and math recovery. If you think teachers don't get paid much, teachers aides get even less by comparison, but I feel strongly about helping kids, so I'm planning to college to become a teacher.

I'm lucky that I've never had a credit card and racked up large amounts of debt. I've always been scared of that happening, so I've always tried to save for things myself. Being 24 now means those "things" cost MORE, and I don't have someone buying me everything.

Oh well, that's all for now. I'm going to chuck some bars up on the right that will track my progress towards some financial goals later.

I want to post about my financial goals too. Some that are obvious that will come along with wedding related things. Others that are just some things I've had in mind to do. But more later. At the moment I need to sort out why my browsers is acting weird.

Peace!
