I flew to Chicago this past weekend to visit my grandmother for a day.  She recently got sick but she’s  a little better.  I love my grandmother and I wish I could see her more.

I have work on Monday and Tuesday of this week and then on Wednesday morning at 6 am (bright and early of course), me and the BF are going to the Caribbean until Saturday.  We are pretty excited.  The BF took his first plane ride EVER just this past May, so he still gets a little scared, even though he’s already been on a plane around 6 times this summer.  This flight will be around 6 hours, so I hope he does ok and doesn’t panic too much 🙂

Then on Monday I go back to work and I also start my MBA program again.  I am taking 4 classes/12 credits, so this is going to be another busy semester.  3 of my classes are financial/securities analysis classes and my other class is business law.  I’m going to sound very nerdy, but I am very much looking forward to this semester. I finally have all of my general credits for my MBA program done, so I’m happy that I don’t have take anything that I’m not too excited for.   Also, I still need to buy text books, notebooks, binders and so on.

This turned out to be a VERY expensive week.  Plane rides to/from Chicago, plane rides to/from Caribbean, food and fun while on vacation, tuition is due, text books are needed, as are school supplies.

What’s going on in your life? Anything exciting? Or stressful?

Welcome everyone!  I’m very excited to start my own blog.  I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now, and I finally feel like I have time to pour into this.

I am a 22 year old with some debt.  I have a relatively small amount left on my car loan, around $25,000 in school loans (which includes both debt from both of my undergraduate degrees and 2 semesters of my MBA) and a house loan.  I do not have any credit card debt, and I never have had any.  I do have a credit card, but I pay the full balance every month and I have never carried a balance forward.

Me and my boyfriend bought a house at the young age of 20 very close to where I grew up.  I also have two dogs that I adore very much.   I have two business degrees and I am currently working on attaining my MBA, along with finance designations for my career.

What made me start this blog is the fact that I read countless articles on several finance websites (DailyWorth, Learnvest, Yahoo! Finance and so on)  and I decided that I would like to share the knowledge that I know and the knowledge that I am currently hoping to attain.  I feel that with creating my own blog, this will help me keep track of my success and help others along the way.

I will be sharing any frugal finds, investing tips, saving information, and the like.

It’s time to start Making Sense of Cents!
