Conference Challenge Addition

February 14th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

I added a few bucks to my Challenge today, bring my balance to $1490.01. I sometimes feel like this guy, Sisyphus, eternally pushing the bolder uphill only to have it roll back down again. I have to continually remind myself that my bolder will get lighter and lighter and eventually I will not have to push it uphill anymore.

--------------------------------------------

As an addendum, I logged into my e-poll survey site account last week. I found that I had enough for a $10.00 Starbucks card. As soon as it comes, I will set it aside for attending my conference and add it into my total funds. Getting several of these will help me to substantially reduce my food costs while there.

   How much do you need for the conference? You seem to be doing well!

   I estimate my need at about $2000. Of course, it is difficult to tell exactly how much the cost will be. I am planning on setting aside a minimum of $170 per month until the end of May. With my reimbursement, which will be about $1500, and whatever is left over, I plan on paying off hospital debt #1 and part of hospital debt #2. I know some people would want to go for the credit card first, but those hospital debts are annoying me. When I get them paid off, paying off the rest of the credit card will not be that difficult.
