Work: I picked up some weekend gigs this month and added 9 hrs during my full-time job M-F. It was really tiring, but the paychecks are rewarding and I was able to contribute $1k toward my student loans. Gigs I picked up from Craigslist were giving out samples at Wal-Mart ($18/hr+ mileage), Beer Samples ($20/hr+ mileage -traveled to Appleton & Milwaukee), holding a sign at a college game because it was going on ESPN ($22), "model" for $50, ask people to take surveys ($20/hr + mileage), and putting together a resume + cover letter for $50. The major key to making money is from mileage. Find jobs that needs you to go far and will pay you by the mileage too.

Student loans: If I can find ways to make an extra $1k/month, I can really reach my deadline of 09-24-18, 23 more months. My life isn't over if I don't pay it off by that time, but not only is it good to have goals, it's a real obstacle I can't wait to get rid of. This is my motivation from my last entry

I mean, I'm just really thinking ahead as a future mother. I don't want student loans to be my motivation to work and also be stuck at work. I love family and I want to be able to work part-time so I have time for my children; so my income goes to them and not loans

I paid off loan 01-12, which was borrowed at $815 + and idek how to calculate the interest I've paid.

And also loan 1-01 $1,434.08

So I've been on a VS diet deal, but when I saw how huge the tote was .... I couldn't help it. Look at it!!! It's a carry-on laundry basket.
