When I was in high school , I worked two (sometimes three) jobs so that I could go to college. During my college career, I ensured I took a minimum of three courses at all times in order to maintain my status as a full time student. That feeling is even better when you know that you graduated without debt.

As always, life got in the way during the 2 years we spent writing FULL. Alayna graduated high school and moved away to college, all the while working on the book. She had to keep her “why” in mind every time she sat down to write in order to let go of the fear.

Mise en place for a recipe Even in college, when I was living in a dorm, and had a dining hall meal plan that meant I could get whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it, I still cooked and baked. They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD. You can find MechEs in pretty much every industry.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We also want to get our kids through college without them having loans to pay back, and we are 1 out of 4 on that so far! Also, I love your cat!

He didn’t have his first job until the summer between high school graduation and college. I had reasonably good grades and planned to go to college after graduating. Time is a factor in high school, because teenagers will be in school all day. It’s like having a full-time job.

I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. That’s not right.
