This morning I woke up $4,100 richer

Yup, you read that right! Our summer scholarship/stipend was awarded last week, and it finally came through into my bank account this morning! It was a huge (and wonderful!) surprise considering they told us this year it would be less than usual because of the economy and blah blah blah. But in reality, it was way more! This is such a lifesaver. It's really tempting to go out and do a little spending though, I'm not gonna lie. Especially since it was so much more than I expected. I really want to be irresponsible and get a new tattoo... but so far I'm resisting. I'm saving most of the money for now until I can figure out the best way to use it. I put the majority into my EF, flushing it back out to about $3,000. I also put $500 more into my New Car Fund, and am going to send about $500 to my student loan. Then maybe a tattoo?? haha...

When I was on my little hiatus from PF blogging among the things I wasted money on was a large tattoo on my side... yeah may have not been the best financial decision but I love it! Take care of what you need to first then if you have any extra go for the tat... or make a saving fund for it?

How exciting. I love big windfalls like that! If you save most of it, I don't see why you can't get yourself a tattoo on the side. I want one as well! :)
