So proud of dd!
She is 19, works part time and is a college student. I knew she had recently opened a savings account and was putting part of her paycheck in that...last night she told me she has saved $350! I know it's not a fortune but she's just a teenager and it's a start in the right direction.
On 11-22-85 I married the man of my dreams.
On 01-13-89 I gave birth to the love of my life.

That's great! $350 is a good amount for a college student working part time.

That is really good for a college student who can only work minimal part time hours. Good for her and good for you mom!

I think 350.00 is great! In fact at 19 I already had a charge card to a local clothing store with a balance on it
Luckily when I met my husband he set me straight on that whole minimun payment concept.
