I am currently 22 years of age and am in college. I work 32 hours a week at a hotel and have not established any money in savings yet. I rent an apartment for $450 a month. My monthly bills come to about $550. I pay rent though with student loans and only have to pay about 2 months out of the year out of my own pocket. I then have about $500 left to save from student loans. I am a senior and will not pay back loan for one more year. I also have a 98 van that will probably last me 3 years more. Anyways, if I bring in 32 hours a week x $7.50 an hour, I make $960 a month and $1160 before taxes are taken out. So if I can save $11,000 for a car in one year (also have another job) then will it take me another year to save for a piece of property. I live in Southern Colorado and I saw 80 acres for sale for only $8,900. I do realize the cost of closing getting a title search and annual taxes. Is there a way I can take the money I earn (the $11,000) and double my money in one year to buy land and a car?

Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you
