Sabrina’s Money Madness

Now I see why your credit score really does matter. I was able to finally view one of my credit scores and it is super low. Much lower than when I bought my car when it was 654 then went to 690 a few months later.
I have a few things bringing me down that I […]

My credit card company sent me an email offering me a deal. If I pay $150 a month between now and January I can get a $100 statement credit within 2-3 billing cycles. In the fine print I noticed that it said I can also pay $900 as a lump sum instead of making a […]

One of my coworkers suggested something in regards to my air conditioning problem. Instead of me buying a portable unit that will cost over $300, she told me to buy a block of wood from a home store. She told me to buy it long enough to stretch across the window and thick enough to connect to the top of the […]

My company is changing the day on which we get paid. We were supposed to switch this month because there are 3 pays and there would have been minor interruptions to our pay cycle. We would have gotten 1 partial pay and 2 regular pays.
Merging the payroll was a much larger job than they anticipated […]

I ran out of money yesterday and I don’t get paid until Thursday. I’ll really have access to my money tomorrow since USAA makes it available early. Anyway I didn’t have lunch money for today. I checked my credit union and the check I deposited hasn’t been credited to my account yet. I do have […]

I’ve only been a member for a little over 2 months and I already love this bank. I’m not a “full member” because I’m not military or have any military in my family but that’s ok. Right now it means there are certain products like insurance that I don’t qualify for. I’m pretty happy with […]

I got a referral from Lulu giving me $60 to start out with. I didn’t even have to transfer money in to get the bonus. All I had to do was confirm my bank and the money was deposited. I’ve already made 2 loans in $25 increments. My plan is to transfer $25 per month […]

The NFL had a “NFL Extra Points” program in conjunction with Bank Of America. They have decided to sever that relationship and instead offer the program through a new partnership with Barclays starting in September. Anyone who has points in the existing program has until the end of August to use their points.
3 suggestions that […]

I guess my Mom got worried when she saw my last post saying that I would get my air conditioner any way I could. I even went so far as to say that if someone didn’t get paid then so be it. Actually I won’t go that far as to not pay someone. I did […]

Even though I have one, it doesn’t fit properly inside of my window. Last night was so horrible inside of my apartment. It was only 75 or so outside but inside my apartment it felt like it was at least 85. Not only am I not joking but I think I’m underestimating how hot it […]

I watch local home buying shows at least once a month. This week I was lucky and caught them all. There are 3 large realty companies that highlight their inventory on each show. They even have website with big click here buttons to look over the properties. Each programs lasts for 30 minutes. One company […]

One of my friends made that comment to me this past weekend. Since I haven’t found gotten offered a job from any of my interviews I was doing a down in the dumps routine. Then my friend reminded me that he’s pretty much stuck at his job. He really loves what he does and he […]
