Sabrina’s Money Madness

One of the things I love about the holiday weekends is that almost every store has some kind of sale going on. You can find furniture, food, or clothes. Just about anything you need. Even some things that you don’t. We went to the mall just to window shop. We saw a Sleep Number Bed […]

I’ve often talked about being a paid blogger. It’s not something I shout from the rooftops, but I’m not ashamed of it either. Sometimes though, I have to turn down work. It seems crazy that someone who is paid to blog would turn down money but we do.
One of major reasons I turn down work […]

For WalMart that is. I need soda, chips and pretzels for snacks at work. I also need soup and small things for lunch. I’m trying to cut my lunch spending so I’ll try this for a few weeks. It should work to bring my expenses down.
I need other things from Wally World as well. I […]

I keep going over my budget. This week it was by a lot! I’ve sat down and brainstormed and I’ve come up with a few ways to bring it back in line.
1. Visit WalMart and buy soda and snacks to bring to work. Yes I know it would be better to drink water (which I […]

I’ve said multiple times that I’m moving once I’m done with school. I plan on moving over 1000 miles away from where I live now. I don’t know much about the city that I’m moving to yet, but I have been doing my homework. I’m trying to find out information about various neighborhoods, transportation and […]

I have stock in several companies. 1 company I have send me the dividends instead of reinvesting them. I know conventional wisdom says to reinvest dividends but I don’t follow that advice. I work in banking and that company is also in banking. The majority of my portfolio is in the banking sector. So I […]

It is so cold outside. Right now it’s snowing. The weatherman is predicting 3-5 inches by 7pm tonight. It’s 11am and we already have 3 1/2 inches so I think we’ll get more than predicted unless the snow stops. I’m glad we have radiator heat at home. My apartment is so nice and toasty. I […]

Ugh I hate these things. We have these computerized training simulations that we have to do. Each one is once a year but we have about 5 or 6 to do. It seems like every other month we have one of these to do. They’re boring and long which is why most of us dislike […]

My cousin is a network administrator. He’s responsible for keep all of the computers up and running. He acts as sort of a network monitor. If his company was using the Envoy appliance from Uplogix, he could run everything from one location at the office. He wouldn’t have to run around from here to there […]

But I don’t need them. I only plan on spending 1 more winter here. I don’t want to buy something that I’ll never wear again. Once I move, I won’t need anything for winter weather anymore. I’ll keep my coats for the times that I come to visit my mom. I just have to make […]

I really hope I get a refund this year because I could use the money. Who really can’t use extra money. Yeah I know it’s not “extra”. It’s just the tax-free loan money that I gave to the government all year that they’re now returning to me. I haven’t changed my withholding allowances because I […]

I had to find 1 years worth of telephone and internet bills. Luckily I keep all of that stuff forever. I can deduct a portion of those expenses from my taxes. I wouldn’t even need a house phone if I didn’t use the internet. I use my cell phone for all of my calls. I […]
