Here’s how I’ve been doing this past month in saving money. I’m not including my new student loan in this because I should be reimbursed for my classes from my company as I finish them. However, I plan on using the reimbursement to pay off my earlier student loan with a higher interest rate first, even though it is in deferrment while I get my MBA.

I’m still not saving as much as I’d like, and on top of that, it looks like I’m going to need to buy a car. I don’t know whether I should buy something just off a lease and reliable enough to last ten years, costing me what I currently have in my cash accounts plus some, or save the money now and just get something older that will need more work to keep for another ten years.
