My mom paid for the first semester, I do not know if she will continue paying, or leave it up to me for the next semester. I have a 1997 Volvo, with just over 100k miles on it. The car was given to me and paid in full last October. I have no debt of any kind. I have been working two jobs for the past two months, and have earned approximately 800 This is not a lot because they are both part time jobs, One 9-1 weekdays, and the other is McDonalds random hours, and I went on a two week vacation. ANYWAY I have this check, I have not deposited it anywhere, and I honestly have no idea what I should do with it. I have a few ideas, but I would like to be smart with this money. If you need any more information about my financial status just ask. Other than that..
