this past weekend my dad told me that i have to begin making my "life transition plan" as i will be "on my own" starting next May. everyone goes through the whole transition from college to real world but let me explain, i'm in a bit of a pickle.
my entire life my parents have paid for everything. i have an ATM
card to their checking account and a credit card that they pay for each month. this arrangement, in many ways, has been the most amazing money situation one could ask for. i have consistently had money and i will never be in debt to the University of Northern Iowa. however, this arrangement is also the pits because all money i've earned from working since i was 15 has gone directly to my parents. so this means that in May i will have no debt (yay), no savings (uhh), & consequently- no money (oh what?)...i'm not sure what that will mean for me. i imagine it will be difficult to get an apartment without any money.
brainstorm on that one for me. i'm open to any financial planning advice.
in the meantime, i made a playlist entitled "life transition plan"- i'm hoping to be inspired.
in a (financial) pickle,
emma
