Sabrina’s Money Madness

John and I are talking about vacation and we’re going to come to a compromise. He won’t choose the ratty hotels if I agree to watch my spending. I told him how big of a deal graduation is to me and why it’s so important that I do this for myself. We can look into […]

John and I just don’t agree on anything as far as vacation. He’s really a cheapskate and wants to pay as little as possible. I’m not extravagant by any means but I don’t want to stay in little rinky dinky places to save a dollar or two.
I graduate school next year. I’m not going on […]

We spent almost $65.00 and really didn’t buy a lot. We did spend over $5.00 on cherries and grapes. I love summer fruit. I don’t really eat a lot of fresh fruit in the winter but I eat a ton of it during the summer. That was the first thing I threw in the cart […]

John and I are starting to make plans for “our” stuff as opposed to “my” stuff. We were driving around today and ran into several Columbus GMC Dealers. Lots of people live in PA but buy their vehicles in OH because the dealer rates tend to be more competitive. Anyway we’re thinking about getting a […]

John and I are going to Chicago on Friday after work. I need to have some travelling cash to take with us. I want to make sure I have at least $10 in singles for whatever might come up. We have a EZ Pass for tolls and we plan on getting a 3-day pass in […]

We just started making a list for tomorrow when we go food shopping. I want to get food and drinks, mainly Pepsi. I need the caffeine or I’ll be cranky at work. I should get some herbal acne treatment to try on my face but I’ll probably wait until it goes on sale.
John has a different […]

A few days ago I wrote about how we’re getting a EZ pass. Well we went and got it on Wednesday of last week. We haven’t put it on the car yet but I’m sure we’ll do that tonight. We’re leaving tomorrow to go to NJ to visit our respective moms for Mother’s Day. John […]

My economic stimulus was originally due 05/09. Then came the news that they were going to start sending the checks out a week early. I thought that was cool and I might have my money a week earlier than scheduled. No such luck. I had to see if a check had cleared my account yesterday. […]

I was asking John to help me pick out some things for my apartment. I figured that since he’s a guy, he would be good with that stuff. That’s wrong of me I know to stereotype him like that. After we talked about it, yeah it was definitely wrong of me to think he might […]

With the price of everything going up, I’m not surprised that airfare is so expensive. I want to go visit my family in Florida and it costs over $250 for airfare. The most I’ve paid in the past is $200 but I’ve gotten it for as low as $125. I know this is the most […]

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 […]

I’m looking because I need more money. John is looking because he hates his job. He’s a bank teller which isn’t that bad really. But his branch is extremely focused on sales. So much so that they want 2 new accounts per day. His branch is busy but most of the people aren’t looking for […]
