Would you use a payday loan to pay for vacation?

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 thought my job was stressful

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 […]

I’m having a budgeting workshop

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 […]

She’s taking another Payday Loan

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 […]

More gambling on sports

My friend that’s running the football poll is having trouble selling the blocks. So instead of being $20 per block and paying 2 people per quarter (she was paying on the reverse numbers as well), she’s just charging $10 and paying 1 person per quarter. I think the final score would still be worth $500 […]

Moving is stressful

My boyfriend is moving and we’re having a hard time with it. He doesn’t have a lot of stuff but what he does have is heavy. Of course his new apartment is on the 3rd floor of a walk-up building! I told him we should have called one of the many Moving Companies out there. […]

A crazy, busy expensive holiday

I spent so much money these past few days. I don’t even know what I spent the majority of it on. I know I got some stuff from Walmart that was close to $30 and I took out $20 in cash. We went to the “O” to eat. The food was greasy and gross just […]

My friend is moving

I hope it’s not too far away. He broke up with his girlfriend and they were living together. Lesson here: Don’t give up everything for a few months. They didn’t live together for six months and now he’s moving out. He still has his clothes but no furniture, no dishes, no tool storage cabinets, nothing. […]

So my neighbor didn’t show

I wasn’t mad but I was a little disappointed. I had gone out and bought extra food. Nothing big just some buffalo wings and potato skins, finger foods basically. I also got some juice and soda to drink. None of us are big drinkers so I didn’t bother with alcohol. I lit a sconce and […]

Turkey day plans?

I don’t have any. My neighbor has a playstation 3 and we’ll get together with a couple of other people and play that. That’s about it. I told them we should go to the grocery store and buy some Turkey hot pockets. 
My family lives far away and I have to work Friday, I’m sticking close […]

Pets are crazy expensive

My friend at work just showed me the receipt where she went to PetCo (or PetSmart or wherever she went) to get food for her dogs. She spent over $40 and that’s only enough food for two weeks. That’ crazy. Then they still need to see a vet and have chew toys etc.
She crazy about […]
