Sabrina’s Money Madness

I only have 5 short and sweet resolutions this year. I should make them all and they shouldn’t be that hard to keep.

Savings - $2700. Not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things but I don’t have any money in savings right now. This should be fairly easy to make.
Bills - $650 […]

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 […]

They’re outrageous right now. Once all of my bills are paid, I don’t have a lot of money left for savings. One thing I’m going to do is cut down on my utility bills. I may want to check out a bell tv or some other service to save money. My bill seem to increase every month. They’re small amounts […]

I’m looking for ways to cut my expenses. I have some things that I can cut back on like my food budget. I can just buy more economical food and stop eating out so much. I also need to change my cell phone plan and maybe my dsl plan too. I also plan on looking […]

Just call em’ up and ask. That’s what I did with my cable company. I called and asked if I could have a cheaper package. The operator asked a couple of questions, then she gave me a 1 year starter package deal. After the year, the cable will go up but it will still be […]

It seems like I just paid it and now it’s already due again. I pay in 3 installments because that’s the longest time we’re allowed to stretch it out. We used to be able to make 4 payments but they stopped that last year. I don’t have enough cash to just be able to pay […]

So I have to tweak it again. I looked at the numbers and I have very little spare cash once everything is paid. I won’t be saving any money for the next 9 months while I’m in school so I have to be careful with what I have.
The bills never stop.

That’s what I call it instead of payday. It seems like all you do is exchange your check for bills and a few magic beans. At least I get paid every 2 weeks now. I used to work for a place that only paid us twice a month. That totally sucked because sometimes there were […]

We all have bills. Even those of us lucky enough to not have credit card or student loan debt still have those pesky monthly bills. Things like phone service, cable, internet and rent or mortgage. If you are like most of us however and you need help with your bills try a Debt Settlement Calculator. […]

I didn’t get anything in the mail this week. No bills or anything. Not that I’m complaining about not getting bills. I was just surprised when I checked the mail. I’m used to getting a lot of mail every week. Things like Quinceanera invitations, ads and coupons, and of course my bills.
Next week I can […]

What are they waiting for? I mailed my check a week ago. They were both local so they got them the next day but neither check has been cashed yet. I was checking my balance online yesterday and noticed that something hadn’t cleared. When I looked through my register, it was those 2 checks.
With check 21 […]

I have several letters to mail including my tax returns. I owe both the state and the city that I live in. I also have 2 letters from online bill paying to mail this week. They’re automatic so all I have to do is go into my account and have them pay out this week. […]
