Figuring out where you will be financially years from now is hard to imagine. There are always what you plan, and then there’s things that just happen that you would usually rather not have of. You can always make goals and things and hope that things go alright and end up close to what you expected.
I am currently eighteen years old. I am working on setting up all my financial things so that I am independent and can rely on myself for what I need and not have to worry about having my parents approving of things and being responsible for what I choose to do. I am going to take out a small loan soon and work on building up my credit history. I am also planning on transferring all my things like my car and phone to my name. This summer I am going to get a full time job as a CNA and save up some money for next year college. I plan on hopefully going to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for my bachelors degree in nursing. As I attend college I plan on staying employed as a CNA and working as much as possible so that I can afford to pay my tuition that I will basically be on my own with. During my college years I plan to get a few small credit cards just in case and also to keep my credit good. After I graduate, I would like to move somewhere south or west and work as a Psych RN.

    906 Words  | 2 Pages

    About halfway through my junior year I learned that I wanted to be a Nurse Practitioner. My teacher was talking about the different levels of nursing and it just caught my eye. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse practitioner and I wanted to help a lot of people in any way that I could, and I realized that I could help more people by being a nurse practitioner than just an LPN. I set my mind to becoming on and I most definitely plan on going onto school until I reach my Nurse Practitioners, and maybe even further on. I also figured out what I wanted out of my life. I wanted to get married, build a house, and have kids, but I didn’t want to do it until after I finished school. I wanted to focus all my time on schooling then get married and have a family, because I know how hard it is to be in nursing school, and have other things outside of nursing school that you have to do as well, Another thing that I learned at MidEast was that I fell in love with nursing in

  • My Financial Experience

    785 Words  | 2 Pages

    We do live in a bigger home than usual for people with my parent’s income together, but it was something they could afford at the time they bought it. My parents are great people and I love them so much, my mother just has bad credit so all of my loans right now are in my name. I see that I am incurring a debt and interest everyday because of school loans. But I do not have a credit card and that is something I know if I had, I would get in trouble with. I took personal finance in high school and that is when I learned the difference between a debit card and a credit card. That opened my eyes so much more in what financial maturity looks like. I was able to figure out how to write a check and keep up with a checkbook, I learned about how babies are expensive, and about debt. I have learned that like my mother if I have a credit card I am going to get in trouble. This why I only have a debit card and both of them are closed cards (I believe there might be another term for this). It is when I run out of money; I cannot overdraft my account and occur an extra debt over the amount owed. That is so my card will automatically decline when I run out of money.
