Sabrina’s Money Madness

John and I will be moving south sooner rather than later. We had originally planned to move in 2010. We’ve decided that as soon as I’m done with school that we’re going to move. No pressure right? Believe me I’m worried about the undue stress that I’m going to face trying to get done with […]

February is a new month with a new budget. I definitely blew my budget this month. I spent too much. I was able to cover everything but I wasn’t able to put as much into my back-up savings account as I would have liked to.
I need to get more money into that account because that’s […]

After what seems like months of searching, John found a new apartment. The funny thing is that it’s in his old apartment building. Here’s where it gets really weird, it’s his ex-girlfriends apartment. I wasn’t thrilled about that but he said once the apartment is clean, he won’t have any memories of her or their […]

We’ve been so busy for the past week and a half at work. There have been quite a few people that have been off sick. We have enough people to cover their work but that puts the rest of us behind. There’s this crazy strain of the flu going around and I think almost half […]

I guess you could call me a professional blogger. I’m not a big blogger like some of the names you hear out there. I use my blogging to try to stir my creative juices in order to work on my novel/short story. I have multiple stories that I’m working on and they are all in […]

I’m still buying stock even in this topsy-turvy market. You know the old mantra “buy low-sell high”? That’s what I’m hoping to do. I just wish I had more money to add to send right now while the prices are so low.
I thought I had only bought 6 shares last year. But I got my […]

I have got to lose this weight. I need clothes soooo bad. I just refuse to buy clothes at the size that I am now. The sad thing is that I have a bunch of clothes in the next smaller size. I’ve had them since I wore that size last. I never felt the need […]

My friend that’s running the football poll is having trouble selling the blocks. So instead of being $20 per block and paying 2 people per quarter (she was paying on the reverse numbers as well), she’s just charging $10 and paying 1 person per quarter. I think the final score would still be worth $500 […]

Did you know that there really is a time unit of measurement for a “jiffy”? I didn’t either until I read Caffeine Overload. It’s one of the cool blogs written by Eve. In addition to the fact of the day section (where I found that tidbit) there are jokes, a did you know type of […]

Every so often, I go online and run a retirement calculator to see where I stand. The numbers absolutely scare me. I am so far behind it’s not even funny. According to the calculators I can probably retire when I’m 70. lolol.
I should be getting a raise within the next 3 months so I can […]

Why would I need a oxygen concentrators? I don’t know. Ya never know you could get sick and have a bad illness or something. I try to take care of my health but sometimes it’s hard. Right now I’m trying to lose weight and I’m not winning the battle of the bulge.
I need to exercise […]

I’m trying to pay some of my debt down faster than it’s scheduled to be payed. I have a 5 year 60 month car loan that I hope to have payed off in 48 months. I pay extra every month and whenever I get extra money I put it towards that too. I also have […]
