Sabrina’s Money Madness

I usually go grocery shopping once every two weeks. This past week I didn’t go shopping for some of the staples that I need so I’ve been buying some of those items from work. I’m pretty close to blowing my budget for the next week. I still have to go out this weekend and buy […]

For the most part my budget is ok. But I do have some holes in it. I need to plug those up and fast. I just figured out that I have at least $600 from last year that was unaccounted for. That’s not a ton of money but I could have put it into my […]

I get paid in the middle of the week but I was trying to stretch my money to the end of the week. I would always run out of money before Friday. Now I just base my lunch budget based on my payday. I’ll try this for a month or two and see if it works.

I did go shopping yesterday and I went way over budget. I did buy enough food to last for 2 weeks but that still doesn’t explain why I’m over budget. I spent at least $20 too much. It doesn’t sound like a lot but I have to pull the money from somewhere else. Luckily I […]

I thought I had a budget worked out where I could pay my spring tuition without taking out too big of a loan. But as I was reviewing the numbers today, I realized that I had overstated my paycheck and tuition money. Going through the numbers really quickly it looks like I mad a addition […]

But I don’t mind. That’s because there were some good sales so I was really able to stock up on some things. Yogurt and the diet soda that I drink were both on sale this week. I won’t have to buy soda again for a month and a half at least. I have enough yogurt […]

For this semester I’m $150.00 short. I don’t know what numbers I was looking at but my budget is really wrong. I do have a small “slush” fund that I can use but that will throw off the numbers for the spring. Right now I’m just going to concentrate on paying off the current semester. […]

My spending is starting to get out of control. I have a lot of little incidental expenses that add up to a big drain on my budget. I need to have more no-spend days even if I have to plan them in advance. The last time I got serious I saved an additional $20 in […]

I went shopping yesterday but I didn’t buy much. I did have dinner out though. I had a taste for ribs so that’s what I got. Then I bought some stuff for the house that I needed. I need some batteries that I didn’t get though. 2 9-volt batteries is $5.00. For 2 generic brand […]

I can do a budget because my income is fairly stable. But I’m in school and I still have a least 1 semester to go. Even if I budget for savings, the money will go towards school this year and the early part of next year. Then once I’m finally done with school, I’ll have […]

Ok now I am starting to think I’m a spazz. I had a clear and concise budget all written out for school. It had my tuition amounts, how much I had to pay, and where exactly the money for the classes was going to come from. It took me 2 days to make that thing […]

My friend finally wants help with her budget. It’s about time! I’m really happy to help her. When she told one of our other friends that I was helping her that person decided she wanted help too. Now there are 3 people that I’m going to work with all at one time.
I told them all […]
