Newbie

My very first blog Smile

I'm a 22 year old from Canada and about a year ago I started my very first job. I'm been trying to save up money to pay off my student loan but I havent been very sucessful so I hope this $20 challenge will change that. I have more than $25 000 in government student loans to pay off and $10 000 in car loan. My goal is to have both loans paid off in the next 5 years. My $20 challange goal is to save $5000 by the end of the year.

Usually I spend around $30 on lunches/breakfast & coffee a week at work and i'm planning on not buying any food at all at work. Since this is the middle of the week, i'll put $15 dollars into my challange account

    Hi! You have great goals! Could you maybe make coffee at home and bring it in those commuter mugs? They have little coffee makers that you can buy for home use? (I use the Mr. Coffee kind and it works well).

    Thanks for all the welcome Big Grin
    I decided to take tea bags and a tub of sugar to work instead of buying coffee, now i just spend rougly 10 cents a cup versus the $1.10 i'd be paying for work. I dont like the travel mugs because I always forget to wash them
