The Start

So in March a year from now I am travelling to Asia and South America.

I'm going to save up $20,000 and hopefully $10,000 on a credit card. That's $30,000 that I can travel with for a year. I'm hoping that after I pay most things off, like some of my Student Loan and getting my teeth fixed, there may just be a need for two root canals at $1300 each they don't come cheap and then I have 9 more holes to fix at say $200 each so that's....$2600 + 9 x $200 = $1800 = $4400.

So I have just worked out that by March next year I would have only saved $10,200... Are you kidding me that's not enough. I need to figure out a way to save more. I have my $50 a week as an off the side savings account so by the end of 25 paid fortnights it is $1600 and that's with the extra $350 that's already in there. I work in a bank and get $1400 a fortnight, I'm going to put away $600 for travelling that leaves me $99 for 2 weeks which is nothing but it's good for me to start living as a hermit.

I'm going to get a job as a waitress at a bar for the extra money and for the experience so I know what to do I just need a RSA Licence. I don't know whether I would actually enjoy working 2 jobs... I guess it's not the point of enjoying it it's the point of hard work and it paying off in a years time when I want to  travel with a good secure budget.
