Posted by Administrator in : Uncategorized , add a comment

DellI applied for a part-time sales rep position with Dell Computers online through monster.com about 2 weeks ago.  Well yesterday I got a phone interview from a recruiter for Dell.  Its looks as though I will be getting the job which is good news because any additional money I recieve will be put towards investments/savings.  Also its a flexible schedule that works around my full-time job.  I only plan to work 10-15 hours a week and maybe a little more here and there.  But hey any extra money is good for me.

Alright I am complete with the Budget Spreadsheet for 2006.  This is the actual budget that I use that helps me keep track of my budget and allows me to estimate how much money I can save week to week.  It’s important to me to know how much I can save because I can now turn the saved money over into investments.

Fresh Start… May 3, 2006

Hello everyone and welcome to WatchMyGrowth.com

You know I started this site just to hold me accountable to keep me saving and investing money and not to blow it on every little gadget I want or think I need.  So I consider buying the domain and webhost an investment to keep me accountable to my savings and investing goals.

Now a little bit about me…

I don’t have a college education, yet I am young at 22 years of age.  I also don’t make a buttload of cash.  I work full time just like any other American 40 hours a week.  I am probably like most Americans too when it comes to saving and investing money for our future.  But I would like to make a change in that!!  Something hit me at the beginning of April 2006 that I was tired of not living with money.  Everytime I had an emergency I had no savings to go to or anything and just quickly fell into debt.

The debt/fees/expenses I incurred is controllable, but I was just too lazy to control them

So now I came up with a plan to reverse all of these bad habits, and I started this website to share with everybody who is interested.  My plan is a plan in action presently and I created the plan at the beginning of April 2006.  I will be updating daily on what the details/results of the plan are.  So stay tuned and I will keep you informed!!
