Amber's current situation:

I've got a few years of college in and an associates degree in Liberal Arts. I've taken some time off to work and pay down some student loans, but i don't think my school days are over just yet. I'm at that fork in the road- deciding which way i'll go and anxious to see where my future is taking me. I'm super optimistic, I'm always smiling, and I'm ready for what ever the world throws my way! :)

St.Louis!! Hello most awesome town ever… its Amber!

I love being from a town that is full of fun and fanstastic people! Our city is full of exciting stuff to see and do… it’s like adventures waiting to happen!

You know what is fantastic about generation Y? We have the ability to take lame things, and make them just the opposite. Like using coupons… ya its actually pretty smart. If you got something that saves you money I say use it!

Lunch specials, clearance racks, resale shops, yard sales, flea markets, all which fall under the category of smart spending and smart spending leads to fantastic. If people think any of these things are un-cool, show off your deals and tell them being broke is beyond un-cool!

So what do u want in life, success or failure? Good thing is, you get to choose. Throughout my life experiences so far I have learned its best to take advice, learn from other peoples mistakes and skip the learning the hard way. Its obvious we know how we get into financial trouble but its time we learn how to get out, and get ahead. We have to work together and be the generation that decides to do something different than everyone else. Lets “act” outside the box, because people have been “thinking” outside the box forever.

My goals are to see more happy people than sad people and more winners than losers. It’s gonna take work, but if it was easy we would all be happy winners already. And I think, it’s a reachable goal.

Let's do it to it St.Louis (:
