Sabrina’s Money Madness

I will admit it right now….I’m horrible with money! If I have a few extra dollars in my checking account, I will find something to spend it on. I’ll even dip into my savings accounts at my main bank and my main credit union. However, I figured out that if I put my money in […]

I can’t figure out how much money I really have. I bank at multiple banks and I play little money games with myself to pad my savings. At one bank I may round up my purchases to the nearest dollar. Another bank is my miscellaneous money account. And my last savings account is my actual savings.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep track […]

I usually only need a oil change every 4 or 5 months since I don’t drive that much. It wasn’t that expensive either. I expected it to cost a lot more than it did so I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t need to wait for an appointment from the auto center, I can just take my car in […]

I forgot to send a thank you note. I can’t believe I did that either. I had two separate emails written since I interviewed with two people. Then I got really busy at work at my email starting acting up so I closed the program. When I reopened the program the emails were gone and […]

Of course I was extremely nervous during my interview. I felt myself stumbling over words that I normally don’t have any problem pronouncing. There was also a time that I gave a answer then immediately thought, I should have given a better answer. I hate second guessing myself after the fact. It just gets me […]

Yep I have a job interview today. I’m not nervous about it but I am kind of anxious to get it over. I’ve had several interviews in the past couple months and I’m starting to get tired of them. I don’t even bother with the best skin care cream that I have anymore. I just […]

I’ve been selling a lot of stuff on eBay lately. Most of it is stuff that I have lying around the house that I’ve either never used or only used a few times. I also have some gift cards from a store that I don’t shop at that I’m selling.
I try to wait until I […]

Yesterday I alluded to the fact that I don’t open my paycheck right away. I hold it until that night and sometimes it can be several days before I see how much money I have.
This stems from a incident quite a few years ago at my old job. I got a “promotion” and was told […]

I usually don’t open my paycheck right away for two reasons. The first is that my check usually only varies by a couple of pennies unless I get a raise or something special that pay period. The other reason is because of a incident that happened at my old job with missing money. It was […]

I also need to get my tires rotated since I’ve had them for about 6k miles. I get my car serviced at my local Wally World tire center. I can drop my car off and get my shopping done while they do the work. Of course that’s the store’s plan because you’re likely to spend […]

Surprise surprise right?!?! It was my first trip to this casino. I visited Seneca Casino in upstate New York. I mean nobody really expects to win all the time. Well some professional gamblers do but I don’t. It was a really fun experience anyway. There was almost 50 people on our bus. We played games […]

Look at the picture and the dates on the calendar. I just got this calendar on Wednesday. And it’s out of date! I know a lot of people don’t write checks anymore and banks have extra checkbook covers and checkbook registers laying around but this is ridiculous.
It’s a good thing I won’t be using this […]
