This year I made 14,722 dollars.
(problably really around $15,00 when you factor in unclaimed tips)
Not bad for a 19 year old, right?
that means I am in the top 12.4% richest people in the WORLD - Check out your number.
Next year I hope to bump this number up to $20,000. Yes, I know this is still considered lower class. But a $5,000 increase isn't to shabby in my mind. Plus Auston will be working part-time by then, which will bring in another big chunk.
I plan to do this a couple of ways.First off by having a a stable job. Once I move next month serving will not be my primary job any more. Even though its fun, its just not practical as far as steady income goes. Some weeks I make $400 and other I make $95 -That is just not cool. Hopefully I will be working for Easter Seals full time by the time 2013 rolls around. Thats my main goal. Its a great company, my mom also works for them and she loves it. I Still plan on serving on the side though, probably 2 or 3 days a week. This will supplement my income in the begining, until I gain full time at Easter Seals. I may not give it up even after getting full time, because the truth is I love serving. I know thats strange, but its true. I love the rush, and the atmosphere, and meeting new people. Call me crazy if you want.
I also hope to generate atleast $3,000 with my blog this year. I know its a long shot and I will probably make much less, but a girl can dream right? I am making a small profit with adsense so far, and my pagewiews have increased from an average of 20-30 a day to 50-60 a day. I know thats still small fry, but an increase is an increase.
What do you think?

Weekly Spending Up-date
If it hadn't been for all of our gift supplies, this would have been a great week! I'm not upset about the amount spent on gifts. I think each person deserved a little something, and I love giving back to those closest to us.
I wish I hadn't eaten at work this week, but even so, Auston and I still only "ate out" Twice this week. Which is the goal in the new year.
I know you are probably eyeing that late fee down there. I debated whether to put it there or not, it is quite embarassing when you don't get things paid on time, but sometimes that is just the way life goes - especially during the holidays. January will probably bear the same results.
Only $15.00 in gas this week! Not bad eh? I know, I'm impressed too, a lot of it has to do with us mapping our trips out, so we aren't turning around, and going back and fourth, we try and get as much done in one trip as possible. It helps that work is only a couple of miles away.
$5.00 more into the New car fund! every little bit helps right? on top of the $5.00 added every week,
Auston and I also throw any loose pennys in there - Silver change goes into the sealed pot.
What I was most impressed by this week was our grocery bill! I guess we spent enough on those last week, because we have hardly had to go out at all this week.

Weekly Goal&Money Check in
December 2011
- No more eating at work. I'm sure I can find a much better way to spend my money than at my own resturaunt. Instead I will start bringing granola bars for when I get hungry.

Its not a total Fail - tonight I refrained from eating there, instead I ate dinner before hand. I have however slipped up a couple time. Lets hope I finish out strong!
-Walk atleast once a week
This way I can start getting myself in a routine and I will be able to successfully walk 2.75 miles a week like I have planned for next year.
Two weeks in AND TWO walks taken. PASSING SO FAR!
12-10-11 : My love, the family, and I took a walk around a beautiful family farm up un GA.
12-15-11 : The dog, Love, and I went on a stroll by the river.
- Put $100 towards my move in march
Most of that funding is coming from my Tax return, but I do need a little bit of a head start.
12-9-11 : $10.00

I am less than half way there :/ I am really hoping tomorrows shift bears more results so I can tuck more away.
-Start a "Piggy Bank" that we will not open for one year. I want to add a little to it each day, it needs to be sealed off and solid in color so we won't know how much is in there, and we wont be tempted to open it!
"the sealed pot challenge"
Boo-ya! I started this on 12-5-11!

I have also been continuously adding to this and it is already getting heavy!!!
-Bake 112 cookies to give away to friends and family for Christmas
We don't have much money to spare, I think this is a great way to show them that we care though.

ANY IDEAS?!
And so there we have it! My Weekly goal check in.

I am really impressed with the fact that we only ate out once, and It was such a small amount. I even went back through each day thinking about what we ate and where we went, just to make sure I didn't forget to write something down. We wouldn't have even gone that one time, but I had just donated plasma, and I felt a little woozy, so I had to eat right away ( I am ashamed to admit I was on my way to a family dinner when we made this stop)

12-14-11
Yesterday I worked a double. Man was it a long day! In the end though, the hours are always worth it. Auston and I also baked some Christmas cookies that turned out delicious. And then we cooked a homemade pizza that was... well, less than delicious (if you know what I mean).
Sadly all of the money I made yesterday had to go towards paying my car insurance today. I suppose it's just the sad fact of life.
I have decided that for Christmas, other than making magnets or cookies, I am going to purchase my sisters one really cool present each. They are the only ones I really care about making happy. I don't know what we wre going to do without them when we move. Part of me hopes that one day they will follow us. (A girl can only hope)
Tomorrow, to supplement my income I am going to sell my plasma again. It should only take about an hour, and I could really use the extra income.
Luckily I managed to pick up two weekend shifts this week. That should really help us along. I have $39.00 left on the electric before it is paid off once and for all, so after this weekend I will be sure to take care of that! Then a small amount will go into savings and the rest will be divided up between rent and gas.
On another bright note, I have successfully added a little money to my Sealed pot everyday so far since we started it. I am hoping to have a big chunk in their next year. Though I still havent a clue what we'll spend it on.
