That is very good advice Panama. I am in the Boy Scouts and took the Personal Management merit badge, and they teach the same "Pay Yourself First". I plan to do this. Thanks for the reminder though.
To Tin:
That would be interesting to see how much you had. 10% of your income times 6 years could be a hefty sum.
To ja83:
It probably is the difference in living costs...Although it would be nice to make that much here, to start!
To HAL:
I wish you could only be paid for a minimum of 3 hours. That would have meant that I got paid $18 to sit in an orientation and watch a movie.
