A lot of great things have happened since my last post 4 and 1/2 weeks ago. Thanks to some excellent advice from my sister, I started a second savings account for the hike I'm planning to start next spring and I've transferred all the money I got from graduation and my birthday into the account and then some. Surprisingly, that was enough to get me just over halfway there.
In other news, I started working at a summer camp in WV and am getting $10 an hour and $15 an hour for overtime. By the end of this summer, I should have enough in my new savings account to start shopping at REI; I'm making more money in a single week than I did in 2 weeks at Petsmart. Although, I plan to go back to that by the end of the summer for a little while.
And lastly, this past week, my boyfriend and I put in a security deposit for an affordable, nice looking apartment close to where he will be going to grad school and we really lucked out because we're both happy with it.
