This week's Carnival of Personal Finance is being hosted by Broke-Ass Student, a title I can relate to! I financed 98% of college expenses including living expense by working while in school and saving money where ever I could. It was not the easiest time of my life (although it was a fun time), but it taught me to analyze my spending and to consider options for each purchase I made so I could stretch my income.
I do not need to think quite so carefully about every purchase I make now, but knowing how to use those spending and cost analysis skills makes all the difference with bigger purchases.
Thanks to Broke-Ass Student for including my post about wedding dress rip-offs and cheap chic bridal gowns in the 108th Carnival of Personal Finance.
