Hmm how to make this happen

[simplyn2deep]

I've been saving towards going to Hawaii for my 35th birthday since my 30th last year and so far what I have saved is laughable.

$50/month for the last 12 months has gotten me $600. I will continue to put away $50/month until I don't have a job at the end of the year, but that will still only get me $750. Even if I let it collect interest, that's not going to get me much of anything and eventually I'm going to have to break into that because I do still have bills to pay.

*sighs*

Anyway, I figure...a week in Hawaii, maybe a bit of Island hopping...that's going to be pretty expensive. By my estimation, I'll need to have saved $220/month for the next 46 months...or I could do a cruise and it would be half the cost.

The point is...saving for this is going to be nearly impossible and that really sucks.

Where's a sugar daddy when I need one?!

and...

18 hours and 31 minutes until my birthday.

yay!

I have zero savings. I am kind of contemplating bank robbery for travel funds.

We had a board meeting today (if which I am on) and they voted to give paid employees (me, the musician and retiring pastor) 3 months severance pay.

Great. That's like $1200 for me. Only not really because that will be for bills and not for fun, so savings is still going to have to be broken into at some point.

I really counting on that unemployment check to help with bills, even if I'd only be getting it for 6-12 months.
