Sometimes... A lot of the time, it is so tempting, but I agree; I stopped playing around and got serious about my finances.

I find that I don't spend cash as much, especially if it's large bills!
When I go out with friends and I want to stick to a budget, I always have cash. It's too easy to swipe a card and go over by even a few bucks

I do, loosely. I get paid once a month - pay all bills, tithe, and transfer to savings that day. Then, put money to the side for food, gas, etc.
What's left over isn't much usually, and I don't track it.
I don't track every dollar. It was taking too much time for me, and I was inconsistent, so I had to find a way that worked for me.

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
