This coming week, I’m looking forward to my high school being on a two hour delay schedule. The sophomores have to take the the Ohio Graduation Test, but those who have already taken it (me) get to go into class two hours later! It’s awesome to be able to sleep in for an entire week. Now, if only graduation would get here a little sooner…
Here are my favorite finance articles from the past week or so:
The Most Important Conversation I’ve Had About My Business Ever. This post shows the importance of separating work from your personal life. While the specific solution listed probably isn’t feasible for most young people, alternatives do exist. For example, you could setup a specific room in your house that you only use for homework.
Resisting the Time Suck. I find myself dealing with a lot of these right now. I’m checking my blog traffic a minimum of 20 times a day. It’s getting ridiculous. I’m going to have to really buckle down and simply STOP wasting time on Facebook and watching YouTube videos.
Where Do You Want to Be In Five Years? How Do You Get There? is a great post to inspire you to get off you ass and get stuff done. I honestly have a hard time imagining my life in 5 years. The difference between 18 and 23 has got to be huge! In 5 years, I plan to have a bachelor’s degree and living by myself (or with a lucky lady…). Beyond that? I’m taking it one day at a time.
Why Parent’s Shouldn’t Pay For Their Kids’ College Education looks at the reasons why kids should finance their own schooling. I agree. Personally, I wouldn’t feel like an adult if my parents were footing the entire bill.
Financial Do-Overs is a well worded reminder that adult life isn’t quite as mistake proof as kid life. Decisions carry consequences.
