Anyway, I'm glad to be back! Now that I'm finished with my MDiv, I will have (hopefully!) more time to blog.
That being said, being finished with school means that I need to start attending to the requirements of "Real Life" in the "REAL WORLD." Part of that includes figuring out what I'm doing with my life for the next few years. Other than moving to Chicago and looking for work, my plans aren't very clear right now.
That being said, I'm happy to report that I managed to save 85% of my savings goal for this year! While not the full amount, I must say that I am delighted with my progress, and I believe this accomplishment is worth celebrating! I am grateful because this means that I will have a significant chunk of change to live on in the event that I don't secure employment in the immediate future.
Lately I've been doing some research into saving money, living cheaply. Given that I'm going to be living on a ministry salary for potentially the rest of my life, I figure now is as good a time as ever to start learning more ways to be thrifty.
I recently stumbled across a new TV show on TLC called "Extreme Couponing," and I have to say, I'm hooked. If you haven't seen this show yet, you NEED TO! It's flipping amazing! Even if I don't take it to the extremes that these folks do- I'm determined to learn how to use coupons to my advantage to save money.
I've found some awesome resources which I'll post later about how to do this in real life... Stay Tuned!
