Sabrina’s Money Madness

I know that I don’t graduate until April of next year. I don’t plan on moving until the end of May or June. However, it’s never to early to start looking for new apartments. Not only am I moving to a new city, but I’m moving to an entirely new state almost 1,000 miles from […]

Ugh, that was one of the hardest things I had to do. My refrigerator door doesn’t always close so I have to double check it. I forgot to do that yesterday so my frig was open from the time I left for work until I got back home last night.
I had to throw away milk, […]

Decorating can get expensive whether it’s your own home or an apartment like I live in. But when there’s a sale, that kind of turns into the equalizer. If I want custom window treatments or custom valances for my windows, I can get them. Sometimes just changing something as simple as the accessories in the […]

Yeah I know he had a new apartment in January but he didn’t like it and moved out already. The apartment really wasn’t that nice. It was in a sketchy neighborhood and he had some shady looking neighbors. We went out and bought all kinds of bedroom furniture as well as home theater furniture because his living room was a […]

It is so cold outside. Right now it’s snowing. The weatherman is predicting 3-5 inches by 7pm tonight. It’s 11am and we already have 3 1/2 inches so I think we’ll get more than predicted unless the snow stops. I’m glad we have radiator heat at home. My apartment is so nice and toasty. I […]

That’s a lot! I live in a low cost part of town. One of the reasons I live here is because the rent is so affordable. Well believe me when I say that I got a whammy when I got my lease renewal this year. I expected my rent to go up a few dollars, […]

John and I will be moving south sooner rather than later. We had originally planned to move in 2010. We’ve decided that as soon as I’m done with school that we’re going to move. No pressure right? Believe me I’m worried about the undue stress that I’m going to face trying to get done with […]

After what seems like months of searching, John found a new apartment. The funny thing is that it’s in his old apartment building. Here’s where it gets really weird, it’s his ex-girlfriends apartment. I wasn’t thrilled about that but he said once the apartment is clean, he won’t have any memories of her or their […]

My boyfriend just moved into a new apartment. I had forgotten how much work was involved in the actual move. He had to discontinue utilities at the old place and start them up again at the new place. He also had to put a deposit on his gas service because he never had a gas […]

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. […]

It’s a 2 holiday month. So I get 2 extra days off with pay and I didn’t have to use any vacation time. I don’t have seniority at this job so I couldn’t get the day after Thanksgiving off. I wish I could have and I would have gone home to visit. I did get […]

I mean the whole thing. A bedroom set including dressers, night stands and armoire. Plus a new box spring and memory foam mattress. The set I have now is junky and it’s old. I’ve had it for 6 years. I bought an inexpensive set because I figured I would only live here 4 years and […]
