Cash money...

So. $15,000.00. In the bank.

Stoked!

Now I can return to university when I am ready to do so...stress free. Well, money related stress anyway!

That is the first checkpoint in my money saving adventure - though I think I have modified it some since I have made my plans to travel the world.

The next checkpoint is at $25,000.00 - which I am hoping (optimistically) to have saved by the end of the year. I think that additional 10 g's will go into RRSP's of some sort.

Come January, all my money will be going into the travel fund. Hpefully, I will be able to save up another $20,000.00 from January 2009 until the end of August 2009. It will take some work, but it is plausible, as long as I budget properly and avoid frivelous spending...

Anyway. I am proud of myself. This is the most money I have ever had. It feels great!

Oh, and before I forget...

Step one: Open Limewire (or your equivalent music downloading program).

Step Two: Search: Artist - Coldplay / Song Title: Living in Technicolor.

Step Three: Listen to song while imagining yourself doing something you have always wished you could do.

Step Four: Do it. For real.

If this song can inspire someone else like it has inspired me, I have a duty to help make that happen.
