OK, we calculated you have until Apr 2012 to find a job. When does the Mission College Health IT Grant program begin and end? I think it would make sense to reevaluate job acquisition abilities at the end of the program. Maybe in the meantime, you could research what education or credits you could earn which would make you in your current career (medical records) more marketable, just to find out how long it takes and how much it will cost. I sent you some job support groups via stumbleupon, but, you're right, there's not much out there for whatever reason. > From: robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert> > Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:51:20 -0700 > > > From: robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert> > > Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 10:29:20 -0700 > > > > > From: Noelle <http://dummy.us.eu.org/noelleg> > > > Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:29:40 -0700 (PDT) > > > > > > i added shittibank, that adds $182 to > > > $1621/mo average > > > would you put in checks to UBS for IRA as expense or is that counted as savings? > > > > Unless you're not planning to add any more to your retirement fund, I > > would count it [as an expense]. > > > > In fact, everything except the car, trike, and any one-time house expenses > > (excluding repair/maintenance) should be included.
