I didn't realize that a HSA could be used as a Roth after 59 1/2 years of age! That's pretty cool! @FinancialSamurai, Yeah, Jane's great! I think I found my way over to your site from her site initially. Jane's a very clever young woman, and I enjoy reading her perspective on issues, and how she's coming along in her life. @Jane,

Saw Don's post giving you a shoutout, which is great! How about this novelty idea..... create a presentation that is a business plan of why your parents should fund your last year of law school! You can propose a payback schedule after you hit a certain milestone ie 5 years after graduating, or after saving $50,000 etc. I think they will be impressed with your business initiative and proposal! Sell your parents, they are your best resource :) Howdy Jane – Glad you and Don are linking up. Saw Don’s post giving you a shoutout, which is great!

I am still in the process of figuring out the best way to balance the regular recurring expenses versus the unexpected and one time things that creep up. @Don at Money Reasons I have never conquered ebay and I am considering if its worth all the fees. I wish I could start a HSA because if you don't use the money then it effectively functions like a Roth IRA after 59 1/2. @Kasey at Thrifty Little Blog

I am doing a spot budget, but not a full blown budget... I do have an HSA, but I don't contribute enough to it. I only have a little over $3,500 in it. Side work..., I was able to sell a Mind Flex game on eBay, but I only made $25.00 on it, not really worth it. Start a personal finance blog... Me too!! :) *2009 was a hard year, I initially lost a lot in the stock market (my portfolio was too agressive) I'm still down 6% but at least it's bearable! Wishing you a Happy New Year!!!

For me, the best way to keep track of my spending is to put it all on my bank credit card and check the online reports each week or so. It helps knowing that if my monthly grocery budget is x, my weekly total should be around x/4. I’d say that you were successful this fall~ you’ve at least made attempts at all of the goals!
