Re: Stressing

You should try putting some money in a CD account for a few months. At least it will make more money then sitting in a regular account.

Did you try making a list of things you might possibly be able to do without?

ING.

It makes more money than a normal bank account and since there is no physical bank, you can't run there and take out money.

I agree that ING is awesome. If you can try to put 10% of your paycheck away you will save in no time Good luck

Ugh don't even remind me of that. I think we're going to start looking for something in Jan as well.

We wanted to wait to start looking but we need to give notice in April whether we go or stay at our apartment. I do NOT want to stay.
