A day on the road

July 11th, 2010 at 09:08 pm

Yesterday was a big day of driving for me. I took DS back to college which is a nine hour round trip. Because he does not qualify for any aid (almost impossible downunder) we pay for his expenses.

The good thing is we only have another two months of this and he will then get Austudy, so that will be a big saving for us. He is very frugal thank goodness.

This morning I claimed $40 in shopping vouchers from a survey site which I will use for groceries.

I've decided to record my daily spending here as well.

Food: $40.60
Petrol: $48.44

    Wow, I had no idea it was so hard to get student aid in Australia! What kinds of help will the Austudy program lead to for you? Do they have student loan programs or anything like that, so that he has some insurance, if necessary, that he can finish his degree? Good luck...
