If you really want to get creative..Find a college that has a semester abroad..That way in 2006 you go to Germany for school, and your in Germany for the world cup, also you should be able to get cheaper train tickets and when your a tourist in Germany and you want to travel by train ticket prices are F-ing rough...Oh and take German in college..

ok. to clear stuff up. I am entering 9th grade. right now. I took my graduation money and put it in a savings account. I have about $300.

My Plan,

-Get a fresh credit card with a decent credit limit, do everything first class in Germany 2006. Great Hotels, great food.

-Continually do balance transfers to lower APRs credit cards for the next 4 years as I pay it off, just in time for 2010.

I second stevewhit0's suggestion of studying abroad. If you'll be graduating right before the World Cup and won't be in college yet (therefore not ready for semester abroad yet), there are programs for graduating seniors to go abroad. Who says you have to go straight to college anyway? You could work/study in Germany for a year first.

Anyway, I think two such programs are AFI and Rotary. Look around. I'm sure there are many others.

Living in a foreign country is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it if you can find a way!

your family can afford $24,000 a year in private school, so shut up. then maybe consider the unthinkable...GET A JOB!

Agreed. If you want to go bad enough, earn your own money. There are enough fast food restaurants that are looking for good help.

ive got about $3000 put into Certs of Deposit, so the pittance i earn on interest over the next 3 years, im planning on spending on beer.... i continue to put $100 away a month, once i get a grand, i open another cd....

Once I get things squared away for a "newer" car, I intend on putting 200-400 a month away. Should be able to have a decent time in 2006 if I can keep up with that savings plan.
