Sabrina’s Money Madness

One of my coworkers passed away yesterday. I could say that it was sudden but it really wasn’t to people that knew her. She had an advanced form of cancer that went undiagnosed for years. Even though she knew she was sick, she never went to the doctors to find out what was wrong. I hope […]

It’s after the holiday season and today way the day the stores will really be busy because of returns. Starting tomorrow I should be able to get into the store and do my regular shopping. I need personal items, stuff to clean my American Standard toilets and soda for work. I’ll go to the store […]

I have had no luck this year. I’ve lost plenty of money on speculations and bad judgement. My housing and moving plans both fell through. I’ve even had difficulty finding a new job. I’ve thought about using a Houston job search engine but I really don’t want to move there. Florida is really the place […]

Yes it is in part to get the bill paid off a little earlier than scheduled. But it’s more of a security thing. This month I ran short with my bill money. I still don’t know how I did that because I usually balance my checkbook to the penny. Anyway I didn’t have enough to […]

Since I’ve finally graduated I can officially call myself an alum of my school. It still feels weird to say. I guess it’s been such a long time coming that I just want to keep hearing it over and over again. Now I have to decide how much I want to support my alma mater. […]

I talked to my mom the other day and she told me that my aunt has to have surgery. They want to postpone it until after the holidays but they may not be able to. From what I can ascertain she’s not doing well at all. She has a great insurance plan from Blue Cross […]

I really wanted a Southwest gift-card. I finally got it a few weeks ago for 720 points. Shortly after I ordered my card, they sold out. Needless to say I was very happy that I ordered my card when I did. I went online last night and saw that they had more cards for sale. […]

Today was my last “official” day off for the year, not counting Christmas Day. I had requested to have the Monday after the holiday off so that I could go home and spend some time with my mom. I was told that the day was closed so if I decide to be off that day […]

I went to the store the other day to buy some personal stuff for myself. I wanted a case of diet soda that I usually get and I noticed that it was on sale. However the sale price was more expensive than the price that had been advertised the week before. The store has at […]

A wig, a rug, a hairpiece or whatever you want to call it. I was really surprised too. His hair is always well-groomed and impeccable. It’s really full and black with only a touch of gray. I thought he was just lucky but now I know his secret. His hair is really flat today and […]

Then check out the following press release for a fun holiday diversion:
Thanks to the weak economy in 2009 the PNC Christmas Price Index increased by a modest 1.8 percent compared to last year in the whimsical economic analysis by PNC Wealth Management based on the prices of gifts in the holiday classic, “The Twelve Days […]

I’ve been saving my points for a while now. I’ve got some little stuff but I still had over 900 points. I wrote a post a while back talking about how I was racking up the points. Well it finally paid off. Two weeks ago I got a $20 discount code off of a Southwest […]
