Loans/ Scholarships: -$6000 loan


TOTAL: $13,750

Note: To try to stay under budget, I try to budget about fifty euros a week. That would be like $75.00 a week. Then when I would like to spend more money on the weekend, I will be able to use money from other expenses. I have found that writing down everything I spend helps me keep track more efficiently than I would by not writing down information.
