New Calculations!

You guys know how much I love to calculate things out! Now that I earn more each hour, time to redo my income estimates for next semester.

If I work 15 hours a week next semester from the end of January through the middle of June, I can do quite well. These new calculations assume that I don't take spring break off of work. I work my usual 15 hours that week. Realistically I'll probably work more if there is more work available. I didn't take into account holidays or days when I work longer to finish things up or show up early. It'll probably end up being more than this. Especially since I might get another small promotion during that time. I figure I have about 24 weeks of work left.

That means at 15 hours a week, for 24 weeks, for 9 dollars an hour... I'll earn 3240 before taxes. I'll probably end up giving about a third of that or so to my mom in living expenses though. I guess I can estimate on having another 2000 or so into my bank account by the end of next semester. That's about another 3 months worth of living expenses! If everything goes right, I'll still have only 9 or 10 months of living expenses. I'd better pray that I get into that Master's Program!

Ok, back to bed now that the cold medicine has kicked in and I can breath again.
