Why don't I have a million dollars yet?
Seriously. What does it take to save up some frickin cash? I've been out of school for over 2 years, working 40+ hours a week- EVERY week. I don't drive a sweet car- and when I did, it was a Jetta- not a Maserati... I bike to work to save on parking/gas.... I spend very little money on clothes or entertainment- shoot - I can't tell you the last time that I actually took Jessica out on a date- we usually stay in and watch TV or take a nap or cook. I live in my friends' basement. But do I have a million dollars yet? No. Why is that?
Maybe I'm not being realistic enough. Ok, so the point is- I want to have enough money that by the time Jessica graduates (April 2007), I'll have enough money for a house. I'm not even going to discuss the possibilities of an engagement or anything- just that I'm thinking I'd like to live with her after she graduates, and that I don't want to do it in Kevin/Liz's basement. Anyways... lets do some math. I'm saving roughly $800 a month, or $9600 per year. Apparently at this rate, it will take me 104 years to save a million dollars. This blows. I hate math.
I'm going to go back to work now and try to work toward that million.

Although it's not a million dollars, I'd have to say that saving $800 a month all by yourself is a pretty huge deal! I was never able to save that much while I was living on my own. So, major kudos to you!
And, hey, I knew things with Jessica were going well, but heck, your forecast for April 2007 makes it sounds like it's going GREAT! I'm so happy for you guys!
