Monthly Money Check-In: June 2014


We almost bought a $10,000 car. It seemed like the best option. Then we found one from a friend for $1,800. Yesss.

I'm starting grad school. $2,000 a month payments. I am ready to start thinking like a starving artist again.

This month, there was some error from accounting. They hadn't been giving me the money I earned, so I got a big check. Weee.

I like money.

But I want to be a writer.

My goal is to set myself up to just write for two years after grad school. If I save up $10,000, this will mean I live in Thailand or Costa Rica for those two years. If I save up $40,000, I can probably stay in Seattle.
