This is a question i’ve been asking my self for the last couple of months. My bank statement came in the mail and this time I paid close attention to the transactions being made. I discovered that with my card I tend to spend WAY more. I also discovered that I spend most of my money on food and movies, oh and some shopping of course. Bottom line is that I know where my money is going now and I can keep an eye on the things that I’m buying. I try to think to my self, so do I need this? Or do I just want it?  It’s a work in progress. My advice to all students; don’t overdraft your account, keep some kind of track on your money being spent. If you realize your spending too much cut back on things.

Summer is finally here, the best time of the year if you ask me. I am not taking any summer classes because I want to take advantage of the summer break to be stress free. I don’t think my stress is going to completely vanish but taking school out of the picture helps. I am currently working at Chemeketa but as a summer job I also work at norpac. For the people who don’t know what norpac is I don’t blame you. Norpac is a processing plant sometimes called a cannery,they process vegetables and can them or freeze them. This job is just a seasonal job, it usually starts in July and ends around September. Full time job so if your looking for fast cash it’s a good place to go work although it can be boring but once you get your paycheck it’s all worth it. I’m going to be busy this summer but hopefully I will be able to save some money for a vacation trip in the fall.
