Sabrina’s Money Madness

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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. […]
