$$Money Changes Everything$$

I've learned that it is easier to save for something specific (i.e.-a house) if I have a separate savings account just for that. Pure genius, I know...

My life lessons that I have learned in the past two weeks

1. Even the worst things happen for a reason
2. As long as I live at home Dad and Mom will treat me like I'm 16
3. It is better to leave for work with enough time to actually enjoy the drive and not add extra stress to my life.
