Too Poor to Learn!

As the title suggests, my finances are taking a bit of a battering at present. Having a car in this day and age really doesn't allow for much spare cash when you're only on £6.50 an hour.

As I type this, I have almost completed level one Rosetta Stone. I will undoubtedly run through the lessons again to make absolutely sure I've retained everything learnt so far but pretty soon I'm going to require level 2. This means I need money. £189 to be precise - which I don't have.



At the moment, I'm desparately trying to get rid of the car so I can cancel the outrageously expensive insurance. That alone will save me £270 per month on insurance and around another £100 on fuel.

That means I can get both levels 2 and 3 at a discounted rate, which will set me up with lessons for about the next six months. Long-term motivation is my friend in this exercise. Every penny saved from ditching the motor is a penny closer to me being a fluent Dutch speaker.
