I found this UHH-MAZING website thanks to a fellow GirlsGuideTo member and career expert, Mscareergirl.com. This article was so helpful... I thought I'd share!

Welcome to LV Bootcamp. It’s time to get your financial life in order. No putting things on tomorrow's to-do list. When you get orders from LV Bootcamp, we expect you to do them ASAP. We keep these short and simple, so get to it!

With the college students that we are with low-wage jobs/internships and the expensive products around us that we all desire, balancing a budget is extremely difficult, especially when we are now in Generation "Me". This means that we want everything to happen on our schedule, and we want it to happen now.

The title of this post is a wild concept to me, but after g-chatting with a dear friend of mine the other day, I know it’s true.
 

It’s easy to estimate how much you’re spending on rent and food every month, but what about the months when all of your friends seem to have birthdays or you’re traveling a ton?

When it comes to putting aside that extra $50 into your savings account each month, you probably have a million excuses as to why you can’t afford to. But we’re not listening! You simply can’t afford not to.

Your savings accounts are the foundation of your financial future. Say that out loud. LV Bootcamp is letting you in on a big secret: watching your money grow in a savings account isn’t magic—it’s just math! Do the math.

There is a BIG difference between checking and savings accounts, but not everyone really gets the difference. Well, you’ve come to the right place.

After a 3 month stint in the far west suburbs, I’m all moved back into my fabulous Chicago apartment. The views from my apartment are awesome, my commute to work is about 10 minutes vs. 90 minutes, and my friends are close by again.
