I just received my loan check from my college for 5200 bucks. I immediately started a savings account, with checking added on, I then took out all of it but 950.

This 950 was for washer and dryer, and to pay off my cable and internet for however long it lasts. Not even going to touch this money.

I then took another 800 off the top for me to buy a PS3 and some games and a controller.

The rest I paid off bills. My one credit card, my rent for the next 6 months, a few bills that needed to get paid, etc etc. Now I'm back even. I've got mostly everything taken care of.

Feels good. +)
Gothen Reviewed by Gothen on . How to spend my paycheck once I graduate and get a job? I'll earn about $4000 a month after taxes after I graduate. I have no loans, or special expenditures so all that money will be mine. :D I'm probably gonna buy a mazda3 speed for $22k right away. It'll be like a 3 year loan or something. That comes to $700 a month. I'm also gonna need to rent an apartment, probably like $1k a month. Bills + food = $600 a month Insurance + gas = $200 a month Rating: 5
