About Me: Suzy




An East-Coaster bewildered that I ended up in the Midwest post-graduation. More bewildered that I've come to love it.
[This budget blog chronicles my valiant attempts to make a living off my writing and stay in the black...]
Likes:
vegetables, CSPAN, high heels, travel writing, Anderson Cooper, rooftop bars, watching sports with strangers
Dislikes: monogrammed clothing, people who take pictures of food, my current travel budget, Wednesdays! ugh.

2007 Year End Review

In the spirit of new year's eve, I thought back over the high's and low's of the past year.

(+)
I got a financial advisor and started paying attention more...
Signed up for ING!
Took a writing class at the Loft
My first stocks :)
Applied for a grant to take time off from work just to write (didn't get it, but still was a long process, and I'm glad I went through it)

( - )
Eating out way too much.
Airfare - a few last minute, high$ flights put a real dent in my non-work travel budget [bonus: silver elite on northwest!]
Gifts - I always have a hard time not overspending on Hanukkah/Christmas presents. Need to be smarter next year and actually save up for what it will really cost me.
