Sabrina’s Money Madness

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 […]

One of my friends can’t budget her money to save her life. She’s always running short around payday. I don’t try to judge her because I’m sure there’s been a time when we’ve all been short on cash. The only difference is that we didn’t have the option to get a Loan Until Payday. These […]

I don’t have a lot of leeway in my budget but I do have some. I’ve made changes to several categories to save more money. I should start seeing those savings within the next month or two. I need to up my medical category. I don’t need medical devices but I do need co-pays for the […]

I’ve already said that I wanted an air conditioner and that I want to stop unnecessary spending. Well now I feel that an air conditioner is a must. It was so hot and humid last night. I think I got less than 3 total hours of sleep. Considering I have to go to school, that’s […]

I don’t know where either. I’m sure if I sat down and thought about it, I could figure out where but right now I’m drawing a blank. I’ve given myself a budget of $20 bucks per week for “whatever” expenses. That’s not including the money that I spend at the store for food. It’s Wednesday […]
