Summary

One of my goals is to save money earned from my weekday and weekend job for college expenses. I will incorporate the suggestion of “Paying myself first” to ensure I meet my goal of “reducing the financial burden on my mother.” Another goal is to enjoy college life but also be mindful of how monthly budgeting is important to avoid stress.
