My March 2012 savings and debt repayments

 During the month of March I added $90 for a total of $1850. My goal is $2,300 by the end of May which means I have $450 to save. I didn’t add any money to my 10% fund so my housing total is $1,615 with $385 to go. I have some money that I have […]

I forgot to mark my bill payment calender

Most of my bills are due between the 10th and the 21st of the month. The only 2 bills that are due outside of this time frame are my rent and electric bill. Both of which are due on the 1st of the month.
Some of my bills are on auto-pay and others I have to […]

My contact lenses are killing me right now

I’m sitting here at work and I’m so uncomfortable with these contact lenses. They had dried out and they’re irritating my eyes. It’s only my left eye, but it’s not a good feeling. I have to be really careful because I bent my frames to my glasses so I can’t really wear them to work.
My […]

I need to cut some expenses

I have some things that I want to do and other things that are on my to do list into the future. Buying a condo next year is at the top of the list. I also need to start saving for furniture, but I can buy inexpensive furniture instead of going into more debt for […]

What I consider a large payment

I wrote a post the other day about making a large payment. My largest payment besides rent and insurance is to pay my monthly credit card bills off. With the exception of one card on which I carry a balance, I use the cards for most expenses throughout the month and pay them off.
With overtime […]

I am so weird about making large payments

I absolutely hate to see large payments come out of my checking account. Right now I rent, but pretty soon I’ll have a mortgage and that’s the largest check I want to write every month. My car is almost paid off (within 7 months) but that’s a pretty low amount. The only other large expenses […]

I really don’t feel like driving home

I don’t like driving all the way across the state. It’s a long and very boring ride. I don’t any music that I can take along so I’m at the mercy of the radio. You pass a bunch of stations on the ride but there are probably on 2 good stations total. You can be […]

I need to pause before I spend any more money

I went hog-wild last weekend shopping. I bought a pair of pants and several shirts. I also bought a lot of random items that I needed. I have to work on Friday so I won’t be out with the Black Friday crowds (I usually work so I almost never go out on that day anyway).
That […]

I have to extend my lease

My lease is up at the end of March of next year. I want to buy a house next year but my money from the program that I’m in won’t be ready until the end of July. The property management company does let you extend your lease but only in weird increments. It’s either 3 […]

My sweepstakes wins are coming in handy

I win a lot of little gift cards. Most are $5 or $10 with the occassional $25 or $50. Well now the holidays are coming up and I don’t know what to get people. First I’m going to gift the gift cards away as gifts. Then I’ll use some of the smaller ones to buy […]

My niece is killing me with this phone

It turns out she didn’t need a charger, after I had already purchased one. Sigh. She broke the piece on the phone where you put the charger. So she needs one of those charging mats where you just sit your phone down. Those things cost $60 from T-Mobile or between $45-50 from Ebay or Amazon. […]

I need another air conditioner

I can’t take this. It is so hot and humid outside and my air conditioner picks now to die. Unbelievable as my friend would say. I’ve only had the unit for 2 years and I used it sparingly last summer. Once I figured how to get it in the window I cranked the air this […]
