Saving IS important...
I hope ya'll don't mind me posting.
Saving IS important, but priorities are too. Grant you, you are NOT suppose to have everything... especially right now. If you know that you want to be a member of a BGLO organization, then you should at least try to save a year (the sooner you make your decision the better) in advance. My advice is that you save at least double what dues are. This way, you can anticipate any "emergencies" that require immediate funding. I'm just going to use $1000 (that's dues times 2) as the standard, if you start saving early, the interest will have time to grow and by time you are ready, you will have more than enough for dues and the other GOOD stuff.
Now back to what I'm saying about priorities; sometimes, you do find that things come up that will make you break into your "I Want To Be A ABC Fund." That's called LIFE. In that case, spend the money on that Educational or Familia emergency and just build it back up. If that means waiting another year (and I speak on experience with this one) then you will have to do that. The reality is, if you want to be a ABC, then it SHOULD NOT matter when you do it. Besides, if you choose paying for ABC before paying for part of your tuition, that is a good way to make sure that your school does not approve of you joining a BGLO.
