How I got my Education on a Budget

Dear Diary:

I guess I'm still on school thoughts since my last post.

One year, I asked my Dad to buy me a car.  He laughed and said, "If you need a car that badly, then start saving for one."  That got me on track.  I decided I would do a few simple things:

• I would divide the things I needed vs the things I wanted ....ugggghhh....that was hard to do.  Tim Horton's coffee vs the grocery store variety; Ben and Jerry's ice cream vs Breyer's; and...sniff...a car vs the bus.

• I kept a notebook of what I spent so I could be aware of where the money went.  That made me aware of what I had to cut down on.  Fortunately, a bus pass wasn't that expensive.

The car?  Ah yes.  I still couldn't afford it when I graduated but since I looked after my income so well, it wasn't long after that I could go out and buy a beautiful second fourth hand VW. 

Good Night for now.
