Sabrina’s Money Madness

I don’t know if you would actually call it a “style”. I just buy what feels right. I’ve made some dog picks and some great picks but who hasn’t.
Contrary to popular personal finance wisdom, I don’t like mutual funds. At all. I have them in an old IRA and of course my 401(k) because I […]

I do need new paychecks but that’s not what I’m talking about. I need new checks to pay bills with. I only buy them once every 3 or 4 years because I hardly write them anymore. There are some places that don’t accept automatic drafts or credit cards. They only want checks. I can’t believe […]

Debt happens. Having your debt spiral out of control also happens. There are many jobs being outsourced by companies and people are losing their jobs left and right. In many cases they can replace their jobs but at a lower salary. Sometimes a significant cut in pay occurs.When this happens, people have no choice but […]

I’m always talking about ways to make money. I’m researching ways to make money through a home based business. I like the thought of working from home. I get to relax then make money and relax some more. The best part is that I can work in my pj’s.

I had a decent month of May. My goal is $175-200 per month and I made it again. I plan on increasing the amount I expect to make starting in July.
Blogging income - $169.36
Survey income - $25
Total May online income - $194.36
 $70 is going into savings, $25 is going to my vacation club, $25 is […]

I just realized that this was the month that I get an extra check. I get paid every two weeks. Twice a year, you get 3 checks. This year it’s May and November. These are extra checks because I have my budget set to receive 2 checks only. I also have my automatic payments set […]

I love to read. I always have ever since I was a child. It really doesn’t matter what kind of book or magazine it is, as long as it’s compelling and holds my interest.
 I love personal finance magazines. Reading through them I always see articles that I love and articles that I don’t like as […]
