Damn you people who actually save what you're supposed to... I have no idea when I'll get that elusive six months salary saved up.


As for me, I got paid today, so one month's salary + a couple hundred bucks. :eek:

Make a budget and stick to it. Or have it automatically deducted from your paycheck and put into savings. You can do it.

jeans futures have never been higher!

It's just knowing what brands are hot at the time though where you can make the REAL killings.

I have $9,000, apparently your supposed to have 6 months of wages in liquid form so I am waay behind right now :(. But i'm trying to pay off my college debt right now, so I think ill keep steady at $10,000 in the bank until all my debts are paid off (hopefully by the end of the year I'll have enough just to pay my $13,000 college debt before I am even supposed to make my first payment :p).

6 months salary is nice, but you really only need 6 months expenses.

You know when Bill Gates or Warren Buffet finds this thread, Azurik will look just as insignificant as the rest of us, right? ;)

I know they don't read ATOT, it was a joke.

A lot. But quarterly estimated taxes are due in a couple weeks. It'll become not a lot. :(

Exactly 11 cents more than the bullshit limit before they start charging me for the $3.50 "service charge" a month. Unfortunately, this is more than the 3% interest I'd get if I stuffed it into my savings account.
