Archive for May, 20182 more paymentsMay 31st, 2018 at 06:44 pmYou guys...only 2 more payments and I will be done with my Bad Loan. After 2 more payments (06/08 and 06/22) I will have $244 more dollars a month. SeptemberMay 30th, 2018 at 06:47 pmSeptember is when I will be out of this hole. The "hole" being back in the black in my account. Of course my goal is sooner but if I don't do anything extra, it will be September. I will have money allowed for gas and food. I will have money for each credit card. I estimated low on my paychecks, just to add a cushion. If I work a full 40 hours, my check will be $50 more than I plan for. I try to always work 40, but lately with me being sick and my husband's injury I haven't always made it. Car AccidentMay 25th, 2018 at 01:51 pmWell, I was in an accident yesterday. I was rear ended at a stoplight. I'm sore today on top of being sick. But I'm ok. It wasn't my fault. And they have insurance. So still a lot to be thankful for. Cash coming inMay 24th, 2018 at 01:12 pmOk here is what is coming in. Side NoteMay 22nd, 2018 at 06:55 pmI really hate these spammy responses that keep showing up on our blogs. Trying to be smartMay 22nd, 2018 at 03:33 pmI have to go get supplies today on my lunch for my big order on Friday. I brought my lunch but there is no way that I can go to the store and eat my lunch in an hour. So I found a coupon I had for a free pretzel. I'll eat that while I am shopping. Yay for no spending. Some moneyMay 21st, 2018 at 07:10 pmI did my side job on Friday and was able to deposit $50. I found $15 so that brought the total to $65. And I found the check I got for my razor rebate and that is $5.99. So I was able to depot $70.99 today. Not huge but its something. I still have my order this week. It pays $200, but I am allowing $60 for supplies. I'm hoping I can come in under budget. But even if I don't, $140 will be nice. Standing in my truthMay 18th, 2018 at 03:23 pmWell, I have been putting it off because I didn't want to know the truth. I knew the last 3 weeks had been costly and today I know just how costly it was. At the end of the month I will be $1020.64 in the red. I know. Its flabbergasting. I can sit here and list all the excuses why it got that way, but that's it...they are just excuses. I am going to scrounge up $21.00 immediately so I am below 1K. I have a side job today that will pay $50. I have an order that I will make $140 on next Friday. And I am just going to start selling everything I can. $1. $5. Whatever I can make. Because I can't pay off debt until I get out of this hole. And I know we will have medical bills soon so I have to get a grip. Lyft?May 16th, 2018 at 06:20 pmAnyone have thoughts on driving for Lyft? They tell me that I could make $124 driving 6 hours a week. Is it worth the wear and tear on my vehicle? Is it safe? I tried Instacart a while back, but it was a flop. Total waste of time. Speedpass and LeftoversMay 15th, 2018 at 01:38 pmToday I signed up for ExxonMobil Speedpass. I get gas at Exxon on my way to work. They are having a promotion where if you sign up for Speedpass you get 2 free months of Audible from Amazon and a $10 Amazon card. Plus $.10 off per gallon. Seems like a good deal for me. I put a reminder on my calendar to cancel the Audible account in a month so I don't get charged the monthly fee. Advice for real peopleMay 14th, 2018 at 08:18 pmI have been reading lots of articles on the internet about getting out of debt and saving money. But I am wondering where the advice for real people is. (Besides SA) The advice is... travel less, reduce 401K contribution, change your bill dates. ??? Really. I guess if you are not struggling with debt and cash flow, these may be ok suggestions. I only contribute 1% to my 401K. And I do this because my employer matches and I would hate to miss that opportunity. I am definitely not traveling. And changing my due dates won't change anything for me. LearningMay 10th, 2018 at 03:15 pmI sure do enjoy reading everyone's blogs. I have been learning a lot and its great to get to know so many people with different stories. UpdateMay 7th, 2018 at 07:19 pmI do not have any financial news. I am still not even sure where we are at right now. My planning and budget has been wiped out. I am hoping since my husband has finally turned a corner that I can try to sit down and reevaluate. |
