I got my paycheck today and it was $352.43. I'm really surprised at how high it is. Right after I got my paycheck I went to the bank.
I put $176.23 in savings, $105.72 in IRA, and $70.48 I kept as spending money.
This brings my new totals to:
Savings: $3,607.06
IRA: $1,880.03
Yay! I am less than $900 away from completing my savings goal! I'm very happy about this.
Currently what I am doing with my paycheck is putting 50% in savings, 30% into IRA, and 20% as spending money. Once I complete my savings goal I plan on putting 40% into savings, 40% into IRA, and 20% as spending money. I'll keep doing this until I move out and real bills start coming in.
I'm going to save my spending money for a larger purchase. I'm not sure what yet (Coach bag? Nice piece of jewelry?), but I want to buy a special item for when I complete my goal(s).
