I plan to save money, about $50.00 a month. My goal is to save a $1,000 by the end of the year. I need a car and I am in debt. I pray for endowment and an increase in my finances. But overall, with the help form outsiders, I will accomplish my goal.

I am in my senior yr at U of Hawaii and work almost full time. I’ve utilized the food bank at times and try to eat at home instead of fast fooding it. My goal is to save $1000 to go on a well needed vacation next summer. I intend to apply for as many scholarships as I can find to help with school expenses and find inexpensive ways of entertaining myself instead of pricey movies and concerts.

My financial goal this semester is to keep my non-budgeted expenses below my part-time job earnings. I’m a senior at a major state university, and while I still live on campus which helps with the meal bills, most of my friends live off campus, which leads to many opportunities for unanticipated expenses. I anticipate that this amount could be as high as $200, so I will need to work slightly over 20 hours over the semester to earn over $200. This may sound like a low number of hours, but I will need to fit this in to an extremely busy schedule of schoolwork and extracurricular activities.

My financial goal is to reduce my credit card debt by a third by December 31. I will be able to do this by one, paying $267 a month towards my credit card bills, two, using my debit card or pay cash, and three, freeze all but one credit card in a block of ice in my freezer.
