Sabrina’s Money Madness

My new goals for 2009 are not that lofty. I just want to start building my cash back up. It won’t nearly be enough by the end of the year but I have to start somewhere. I’ll probably put my new goals up by the end of the week. First I have to go in and […]

I think! I work for a bank so we don’t have the day after Christmas off. At least today should be a pretty slow and mellow day at work. At least I hope so. I know most of my coworkers are off so hopefully it will be quiet. I know the person that gets on […]

I really need a new pair of “everyday” pants. You know the pants that you can wear with basically any shirt you own. The kind that dresses up or down with ease. Yeah, I need a new pair of those. I have a coupon but it expires tomorrow. I hadn’t planned on going shopping at […]

I had to go to the eye doctor this past weekend. Her weekend office just happens to be at the mall. I got there and there was limited parking. By the time I got ready to leave, the lot was jam packed. I didn’t see a space anywhere and I think a couple of people […]

I have a eye doctors appointment scheduled for Saturday. After I’m through with that, I’ll run to the store and pick up the things I need for next weeks lunch and dinner. I always buy too much so this week I don’t need much again. In the winter I eat oatmeal for breakfast instead of […]

It sucks that I have to put out all of this money for school. But I’m trying to focus on the positive. I only have 3 payments and then I’m done paying for school for at least 1 full year. It may be longer than that if I don’t get into my first choice school […]

It’s not totally because of the economy either. I have been saving in my 401k and my stock account. But I’ve totally drained my cash account. The little bit that is left will be gone in February when I pay for school. I’m supposed to start my net worth calculations again in January but I […]

It was funny because we went to a more “upscale” restaurant than we go to everyday. Most of the other customers were executives in suits having lunch. Luckily we had a menu before-hand so there wasn’t any sticker shock with the prices. I really wanted a piece of grilled chicken but they didn’t have anything […]

We’re having it at a local restaurant that serves a variety of food. Some of my coworkers are already complaining because most of the entrees cost $15-20. They want to spend $15 and have a whole meal including drinks and appetizers. I wasn’t in this department last year but from what I heard, this is […]

I’m really starting to hate my job. The job itself isn’t that bad. It’s pretty boring actually. But the people? Now that’s a totally different story. I can’t stand working here anymore. Every day when I come in, I get all huffy and ticked off just listening to my coworkers.
There’s one lady in particular that […]

I have to say I was really surprised to hear that. I guess it’s part of the corporate well program but I’m not sure. They let you take different martial arts classes including one that let’s you fight with weapons. Of course to use 5.11 Knives, or fighting sticks you have to be in the […]

Is because of days like today. It snowed, which was expected. What wasn’t expected was the wind and icy conditions that the snow caused. It was a mess out there today and there were a ton of accidents. Most cars just went off of the road but a couple of them flipped over. I don’t […]
