BAM! There goes another one! I got a bonus at work that knocked out my Line of Credit and put a small dent in Credit Card 2. I'm also looking ahead to next month when I'll get three paychecks, one of which will not have deductions for benefits.
I've been at this for about six weeks now and have paid off...
Drum roll, please!...

It's amazing what can be accomplished when you really work at it!
Speaking of working at things, one of my other goals is to take at least enough classes this year to use up my tuition reimbursement from work. I've been doing some research and completing some applications and have discovered that I may be able to take more classes than I had initially thought. I already get $2,500 from work (it would be $5,000 if I went into a pharmacy program, but I don't have any desire to be a drug dealer). According to my FAFSA results, I also qualify for a Pell Grant of up to $4,500. Because I qualify for a Pell Grant, I also qualify for a scholarship from the University of Minnesota that will cover 100% of my remaining tuition and fees. I need to read the fine print, of course, but this sounds to me like I can probably take as many classes as I have time for.
Creating more time in the day is another matter altogether.
