Summer Plans & Baby Fund

January 11th, 2011 at 06:06 pm

It seems like every year we are left uncertain about our summer plans. Guess that's what we get as a teacher and student.

So next week I'm interviewing for a full time summer job. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to my adviser about the position and see if she thinks I should continue. I only applied on a whim. If she agrees, then I will have to get permission from my boss to take summer off. He will probably agree with my adviser.

If I do take the summer job, that leaves no time to take a vacation this summer. If so I need to talk to DH about transferring our vacation funds to our savings. If we do that, then we will probably be able to start trying to have a baby in August as we hoped.

Other money factors:
- DH's school is debating taking a grant to extend the school day (extra hours) and give every teacher a bonus. This would also put us on track to start TTC in August.
- If I'm working full time over summer, I'll be paid more than I am currently. This would also put us on track.

So basically there are three ways that will get us on track for our Baby Fund:
- No vacation/Transfer funds
- DH's bonus/extra hours
- My summer job

Out of all these, I think the summer job is my favorite.

    Sounds like a great summer opportunity for you, and I hope it leads to a successful summer of progress toward your goals. Summer can be tough when the school benefits end (like they do for me), and I hope that it works out. We have to get our health insurance extended through the summer, which is fine, but I hate relying on the companies' good graces. It will be nice when we are out of school.
