This is a preview of my monthly review, or a monthly review preview. I haven’t had a chance to put together all the supporting details, but basically, my numbers for April look pretty good. A portion of a new student loan was disbursed in March (although I didn’t find out until April), so I had to adjust the previous month to account for the loan origination fee. It seems kind of silly to get financial aid for courses that are being almost completely (90%) reimbursed by my employer, especially with the current student loan rate at 4.7%. I’ll approach this topic some other time.
Being on vacation with my family in April helped my expenses. During my spring visit each year, on which a number of us go on a trip, my mother tends to cover much of my expenses. Is this a case of the Bank of Mom and Dad issue that everyone’s been blogging about lately? I don’t think so. I never have any expectations and I’m always prepared to pay for everything. (My mother may be reading this, and thus my “dramatically-discounted” vacations may come to an end.)
Stay tuned for my numbers, which I’ll make a concerted effort to have online tomorrow. Everything’s basically ready, I just had to concentrate on a paper and other assignments for my new class (another Finance course).
