Sabrina’s Money Madness

I’ve been looking at interest rates and they are pathetic to say the least. It’s not like I have a lot of money in my savings but I am starting to slowly make additions to my nest egg.
I’ve compared rates at several banks and credit unions and my local credit union has the best rates […]

I really want a condo or a townhouse but there aren’t a lot available in the city that I live in. Most condos are the apartment style and I do not want that. I want a townhouse and I would prefer that it be a stand alone and not attached but I haven’t seen many […]

I went shopping this weekend and I wanted to get some healthy snacks. Nothing major just some fresh fruit, almonds and pistachios. I knew the almonds and pistachios would be expensive but the fruit should have been cheap. You can always find apples, grapes or pears for a reasonable price. Imagine my surprise when I […]

That was the topic of our weekly staff meeting and we didn’t come to any conclusions. Almost every idea that we had was shot down. Everything from money to time off was totally nixed. The best idea was a shortened work week where you work 40 hours but only work 4 days. We would even […]

In my department we have 2 managers and 3 workleaders. Every day they have a staff meeting where they discuss the work, who’s doing what and when everything is due. Apparently my name, as well as the names of 2 of my coworkers, has come up during the past couple of meetings. I guess my […]

You do know what a dummy account is right? It’s an account that serves no real purpose except holding a few dollars here and there. You have a small amount deposited into the account every payday just for small emergencies. Nothing major like an appliance or needing to get the car fixed. I’m talking about […]

To find out about another job. I had another interview yesterday and I am tired of interviewing. They called 3 people in my department including my coworker that I compete with for almost every job. They also called a guy that works down the hall from us for a interview.
Maybe I need to invest in a […]

I got my car inspected yesterday and it cost a small fortune. I was hoping it would cost close to $600 but it wasn’t even close. It was almost $1000 for my car to pass inspection. I could have bought a new pair of christian louboutin shoes for that amount. Or a pair of designer jeans […]

I just got off the phone with my credit union. I was pretty surprised that they called. I thought it may have had something to do with the fact that I maxed out my card because of my car inspection but it wasn’t. They never received a income verification from me. The person that called […]

Oh no my car inspection is due. I had my car inspected in May last year and it was late then. In my mind, my inspection was now due in May but it’s really still due in March. The only reason that I remembered that it had to be done was because I was sitting […]

One of my coworkers went to one of those fly by night schools that most managers don’t take seriously. When she tells people that she went there, they usually just laugh at her. She did have really good grades though, her gpa was close to 3.95.
After her 3rd year, she decided that she wanted to […]

I’ve been disappointed the last few weeks with my job prospects. I want to stay within my current company and it’s been a bit of a challenge finding a new job. I’ve never had to look this long or this hard for a new position. I usually apply for a few then interview for one […]
