Hello, 2020. Right before the pandemic started, I opened 529 College Savings Accounts for our daughters. My oldest was in eighth grade and one of my goals for 2020 was to start saving consistently for both daughters’ college education. But my point of this post is not to discuss the pandemic.

I learned very quickly in college that making lists and writing down important dates on a calendar kept me fairly organized and I rarely missed an assignment or deadline. My planner makes adulting so much easier. This year I went back to a Daily/Monthly layout after using a Monthly/Daily for 2020. The same is true today.

We received a $300 reimbursement from our Aflac supplemental policy for an injury my daughter sustained at volleyball in the fall. This money gets sent automatically to the 529 accounts we set up for our girls in 2020. I started searching and test drove a pre-owned Highlander in January 2020. Share your thoughts in the comments.

Honestly, it was months in the making, but at one time, I didn’t think I would ever see the money. In January 2020, we booked round-trip flights to Paris for the four of us. My daughter outgrew the set and we put the money towards a new set for her. My total of found money in February: $3433.68. Airfare Refund: $2700.

My daughter lives in California and we talk regularly. I had two older siblings, but my sister passed away in a car accident in 2000 and my brother passed away from MS in 2020 so now I’m an only child. I have put money into learning various ways to make money. Another thing I don’t spend much on is make-up.

My daughter completed the college program , a professional internship, and then went on to work on the conservation team at Animal Kingdom. Depending on traffic, it took my daughter 15 – 25 minutes to get to work. My daughter lived at Chatham Square! A non-refundable housing fee of $150 (as of March 2020) in paid advance.
