Decisions, Decisions

I have approximately $1500 available to me right now. This doesn't seem like much, I know. But it's enough for three things.

1. Deposit and first month's rent for an apartment
2. A round-trip ticket to Pennsylvania
3. Down payment on a car

I initially wanted to spend $500 to go spend my last week of summer in PA with everyone. That became an unreality quickly after the plans were set in motion for reasons I won't discuss.

I then started leaning on the apartment issue. I've found a couple apartments that are absolutely perfect and I'd like nothing better than to move in tomorrow. But I can't do that until...

I have a car.

Luckily, the perfect car was listed yesterday on autotrader.com. If all goes according to plan, I'll be driving it home tomorrow. $6500. I'll be paying a thousand. My parents will pay the rest. A loan from the bank will maybe pay them back. And then I'll pay the bank back over time.

I've made my decision. Car comes before anything else. But the apartment is my next priority. It'll be easier to pay for when I have financial aid. And maybe once I have all that settled, I can try and hop on a plane. :)
