Here is where I currently am financially. I didn't start saving until the last six months of my five year college career. During college, I had scholarships for my first two years, paid out of pocket my third year, and took out Stafford loans for my last two years. I currently live at home and pay $400/mo rent to my parents.
My checking account has around $1000.
My online HSBC savings account has around $7000, although I have earmarked around $1500 of that for my vacation in December.
I have a Roth IRA w/ Fidelity, which I had funded $2000 in March 2008, but due to market conditions, it is not worth that much anymore.
My only liability is my student loan that I will start paying down in September. The balance is $11,000.
This is my first blog...EVER...so I'm just seeing what it is like and to get my thoughts out. We'll see where this goes.
