Sabrina’s Money Madness

Unfortunately it’s only my school bill for the summer semester. The funny thing about that is my final bill was due yesterday and my final class is tomorrow! I don’t have any money due for July but my first payment for the fall will be due in August. I’ll be on vacation the day it’s […]

Yup Craygo. I could have used this service last week when I was selling my books back to school. I had to go in and manually add each book onto the site. It wasn’t a big pain with only 3 books but imagine if I was selling a lot of stuff. That’s where a service […]

So I was looking around for cheat codes for GTA IV. Mostly for me just because I’m anxious to see what happens in the game. I can’t wait for John to beat the game but I don’t tell him what’s coming up. In some cases, I already know what’s going to happen. Other times I’m […]

I don’t have a lot of leeway in my budget but I do have some. I’ve made changes to several categories to save more money. I should start seeing those savings within the next month or two. I need to up my medical category. I don’t need medical devices but I do need co-pays for the […]

We didn’t do anything this weekend. We did go out for our usual Saturday day out. It was pretty pricey for a casual type restuarant. We went to Bahama Breeze and spent almost $50. It was well over that when you consider the tip. The food was pretty good though and we’ll definitely go back.
We […]

There are several of us in the unofficial “management trainee” program. We’re all being groomed for management positions but we’re not in formal programs. One reason is that the program is only 1 per year and it started several months ago. So we’re being groomed for the next class.
Yesterday they took us all out for […]

I’m not even supposed to be training yet. I’ve just started my job and they’re still training me for my position. However, I’m being groomed for a management position in my department. We had a conference call with outside counsel for one of our clients. It was pretty intimidating to me because these are outside […]

My computer is really starting to act up. I don’t know if it’s the laptop memory or what. When I open more than 2 pages or if I try to open up multiple tabs, my computer totally locks up. It’s been doing it for a while. I try to do the majority of my web surfing […]

Penguins’ star Evgeni Malkin lost the NHL MVP award to Ovechkin from Washington. So why does a sports headline belong on a finance blog? Because he lost a big bonus by not winning it. Most sports stars have huge incentives built into their contracts. If you win a MVP or get selected to an All […]

I’ve only been in a car accident once and it was a horrible experience. I had to fight and fight to get my money. Luckily no-one sustained injuries it was all property damage. I’ve had friends that weren’t so lucky. One of my friends was driving and a guy clipped her car. He totally hit […]

What are your plans for the 4th of July weekend? John wants to go to Memphis and Nashville for the weekend. That would be something different for us. I’m starting to think we need to start staying home for a while. We travel a lot and while it’s fun, it’s starting to get expensive.
Pretty soon […]

Well according to a report by the credit bureau Experian, you sign up for their services and everything is done. But it you sign up for something like lifelock, it accomplishes the same thing. Experian is saying that credit laws don’t allow for third party agencies to put a fraud alert on your consumer credit […]
