Not Starting Out Well..

Have you ever noticed that once you put your mind to something, and have a solid plan of action that's when obstacles start popping up to deter you? I probably should have kept my goal to pay down my debt deeply ingrained in my mind. I was planning to start with my payoff plan next month, but that more likely won't happen.

I found out yesterday that one of my graduate classes that I completed last year can be transferred to my new school. Great news, right? Well....although I completed the entire semester, the class was never paid. I had to pay $662.11 yesterday in order to receive my transcript. I checked with my employer's tuition reimbursement program that offers $2500 per calendar year. Their cut-off is actually 6 weeks after the end of the semester, so I won't be getting reimbursed. :'( On top of that, I checked my bill for this semester, and the total was about $2950 for 9 hours. I was able to apply the $2500 for 2010, but I still have a $450 balance. I don't understand all of those stupid fees that these universities charge! I think I still need to find another way to make some extra income.

Arrghh!!! That money was taken out of my car fund. Now I have to find some unsuspecting person and hit them up for $662.
