Okay, there still might be hope for me to get to NYC in April. I am going to try my hardest to work as many overtime hours as I possibly can. I just worked 4 hours overtime today to make up for missed hours last week. But, starting tomorrow all of my overtime is going towards making more money to save for NYC. My way of thinking is this.
I make $11.10/hr. Each paycheck I make *roughly* $600 (or a little more). If I do 2 hours of overtime each day that will add 20 more hours to my paycheck rounding the hours to 100 hours per pay period. If I do that, my paycheck will be $1,110 (roughly) before taxes. That should put about $200 extra to save up. Now, I still have 4 paychecks before NYC, so that will be around $800 PLUS the $300 I am getting back for state taxes. So, I *should* have about $1,000 by the end of April to go with which is fine by me. So PLEASE keep your fingers crossed and pray for me. LOL!!!
