A Year Later

I have a new job! I applied for another position at my office in June of 2007, and got it! Now I have a lot of responsibilities, I'm learning a ton, and I'm making more money!

My private student loans are down below $30,000 because I took another no-interest loan from my company for $3600. I am currently paying $175 a week in order to stomp them out with the least amount of interest possible.

The only problem is that I have so much other stuff to concentrate on (including starting graduate school and paying tuition for that as well), that I cannot spend as much time looking at my finances and reading personal finance books etc. Sometimes I feel a little bit out of control, which is why I started the automatic payments. I would be better off if I sat down and looked at my spending habits and saw where I was going off (I have a sneaking suspicion it's my take-out food addiction) track.
