Quick Update

So, I started an ING account! Not a whole lot in it so far, but I hope to change that in the next few months. I am also trying to pay down my student loans as much as possible since I will have to start making regular payments of $156 on my Direct Loans in August. Just put $200 towards this today, but probably won't post until Mon. Still trying to pay down my citi loans too, but after Aug. I get 6 months grace period, so regular payments for that one shouldn't start until Feb.

Aside from that, I am trying to find a balance between living frugally and having fun. The one area where I tend not to be frugal is traveling. I went to a wedding a couple of weekends ago which ended up costing close to $700 in total (for both bf and me). I would still really like to plan a mini trip with my boyfriend this summer. Possibly Lake Geneva, WI. We went there for the day last year and it was fun, but I'm having trouble finding reasonably priced lodging so it may have to be a day trip again this year. However, since we still do not have a car, I am not sure that is even going to happen. I am also planning to go home to OH the week after the 4th of July because I have family coming in from CA and SC. It would be a short trip - probably a Mon. morning to Thurs. morning, as long as Southwest Airlines keeps up its summer deal of one way tickets for $57 each. Lots to look forward to this summer!
