budget!

Well, I took the first step. I broke out the calculator and red pen, and figured up all the numbers. Well, ok, the non-student loan numbers--it's hard to guess at what my post-law-school budget will be, since I'm not even sure where I'll be working, or what kind of law I'l do. Anyways. I have put a plan in place to pay off all of the non-law-school debt in 48 months (I know, four years seems like a long time, but at the same time, it sounds much more doable than "25 k in cc debt"), assuming that I continue just working part time. This is my worst case scenario plan--no snowflakes, no raises, no full-time summer job. I feel much more hopeful now. It's amazing how powerful it is to look those numbers square in the eye.
