One of my favorite movies, know the tagline for this photo? First commenter with answer gets an e-mail hug. =)

I figured it’s about time I provide an update on my previously broke status. So far, I’ve done two things to address the problem:

1. Since that time, I’ve moved funds from my stock trading account into my savings. I promised myself before that I wouldn’t take money out of my CDs or stock accounts. But a few of you brought up the awesome point that the whole reason I promised myself not to touch that money… was to save it for the rainy days. The rainy days seem to have arrived :)
2. My buddy Noah gave me a hand. I’m running the next E27 event (see Community Next) and getting paid for it. Really great stuff. I mentioned in the comments on my previous post that I wanted only to do a job if it was both exciting and paid. This is it. Creating, pitching, and networking are all included in the package. Thanks Noah!

I’m also spending a lot less on food and such. Making lunch as opposed to eating out. Eating dinner at home. So I guess the bottom line is that I’m saving and making. Not saving a lot and not making a lot. But I see this phase as a transition. After all, I’m still in school and that’s important.
