Sabrina’s Money Madness

 I have to call the state she died in today to find out how to order them. I know if you mail the request in, you send it to one address but if you fax or phone in a order, it goes somewhere different. Needless to say, all of my Mom’s finances are still in […]

One of the insurance checks came in from the mail yesterday. It’s for a small amount less than I thought it would be because of premiums that were due, but I’m ok with that. Now I have to decide what to do with the money.
I have several ideas but I’m still working out the details. […]

 I’ve never had to really buy any birthday gifts for children. I usually buy baby shower gifts and that’s all. Since I don’t have any children of my own, I usually don’t get invited to kids’ parties which is fine with me. Now I have a niece and I’ve just received one of the cutest […]

She wants the new iphone that just came out. I told that we can get her one from an online store later on this year but definitely not before June. I just bought her a phone back in November which she loved when she got it. Unfortunately her sister broke it by accident. Although I […]

 While I was home spending time with my family we took a lot of pictures. We used up about 3 1/2 disposable cameras plus the pictures that my uncle took on his regular camera. He has a really nice digital Canon camera that takes excellent pictures. He kept talking up his camera and trying to […]

I put almost all of my mom’s stuff into storage a few weeks ago. I put all of her big stuff like her living room furniture, her cabin beds, and her dressers and mirrors. I didn’t worry about some of her dishes and pots and pans because those are relatively inexpensive items to replace.
I was all gung ho about […]

Whew! I was kinda worried that she wouldn’t like it. Teenagers can be finicky and I wasn’t sure what she would think. My friends said that I’m being too accommodating but this phone is a gift and I don’t want to spend my hard earned money and then she not like the phone. That would […]

I’m a little worried because I don’t know if she will like it. It’s a really cute phone though. It’s a touch screen with a camera. Those were her 2 biggest requirements. The phone is small but the screen is large enough to see without squinting. It does not have WiFi but that’s not a […]

Growing up I got almost everything that I asked for. It helped that I didn’t really ask for much, so when there was something specific that I wanted, my family did their best to make it happen. My niece is asking for a bunch of stuff for Christmas. She wants a new phone, a I-Pod […]

Last year I found a bunch of different web sites that were having promotions on their gift cards. Some had percentage off discounts where other sites had a free gift card with a purchase or certain items. It would be cool if I could get a gift card for buying my normal stuff like acne […]

I feel like I’m running a restaurant or a mail order business or something. Everyone is coming to me with a list of stuff that they want me to get them for Christmas. Now it’s my brother’s turn. He want either some Lowa Banff Pro boots or some other similar pair of boots. The only difference is the color. The price […]

Trust me it’s a long story but her insurance got cut off a few months ago. Now she has to pay huge co-pays to see her doctor and none of her medication is covered. I don’t think there are any medicare supplement plans out there for her, but I told her we need to look into it. She has […]
