Sabrina’s Money Madness

Dieting is hard so me and a coworker decided to start together. It’s always best if you have a “buddy” to commiserate with. We’re getting the best weight loss pills we can afford and going for it. Of course we’re waiting until after the holiday because her family has a big blow out every holiday. […]

Surprise surprise right?!?! It was my first trip to this casino. I visited Seneca Casino in upstate New York. I mean nobody really expects to win all the time. Well some professional gamblers do but I don’t. It was a really fun experience anyway. There was almost 50 people on our bus. We played games […]

Well it’s new for me anyway. It’s Seneca Indian Casino in upstate New York. I’ve never been there but my friend says is fabulous. She asks me to go every time her sister sponsors a bus trip. The last time I told her I would go and it’s already here. We leave Saturday morning at […]

My friend and I usually go on vacation every year. For the past 3 years I was in school so I couldn’t really go with her. I did take a spur of the moment trip to Las Vegas 2 years ago but that wasn’t the kind of vacation that we usually go on. This year […]

She leaves on Sunday with a bunch of her family. I think she said that there was 16 people total going. They’re staying until Friday of next week. Half of the family is under 30, the other half is over 50. Most of the members of the younger set don’t gamble at all. While the […]

One of my friends has a bad job with horrible pay. I mean really bad. When she told me how much she makes I got depressed. I couldn’t even pay my basic bills on her salary and it’s not like I make a lot of money.
In the past I’ve suggested that she look at another […]

Considering I only had 30 minutes to get there, I knew it would be close. I didn’t know I would run into traffic from the hockey game though. That took an extra 15 minutes by itself. Then I made a wrong turn and ended up in a residential neighborhood. I ended up hitting a u-turn and […]

One of my friends/coworkers was on maternity leave. Today was her first day back after almost 4 months. She took almost the entire amount of time that she was eligible to take. Now our lunch group is back up to 4 persons.
Now she has to get back into the swing of things.

One of my friends wants to go on vacation for her 30th birthday. But she is horrible at saving or budgeting money. She went and got a payday loan to pay for her vacation. The final payment is due this month and she didn’t have the money because it was due before her pay day […]

I was talking about my job and I thought it was bad until I talked to my friend. She’s a “team lead” at her job. No it’s not a retail position if that’s what you’re wondering. Anyway, she hates her job. She just got the promotion 6 months ago and it’s stressing her out.
Her coworkers […]

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 […]
