1. Congratulations on your scholarship and being smart about managing your money! Here is a possible plan: -Make a list or spreadsheet of your current monthly costs. Don't forget to include annual, semi-annual or irregular costs such as renters insurance, travel, books, etc. by breaking them down on a monthly basis and including that cost in the list. Allow at least a few dollars (10 - 20% of the monthly total would be great) a month for savings in case of unplanned expenses, emergencies, etc. Additional suggestions can be found at http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson2/ -research on http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.html, http://relocationessentials.com/, http://epodunk.com/, http://monster.moving.com/relocation-center/index.asp, etc. to determine cost of living and other differences. Add or modify the monthly budget items from above to come up with a revised budget that reflects expected costs in Salt Lake. Good Luck!
