Sabrina’s Money Madness

Look at the picture and the dates on the calendar. I just got this calendar on Wednesday. And it’s out of date! I know a lot of people don’t write checks anymore and banks have extra checkbook covers and checkbook registers laying around but this is ridiculous.
It’s a good thing I won’t be using this […]

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 […]

I started saving money to buy a house. I’m on a 3 year plan that will hopefully end with me making a down payment and paying closing costs. Right now I’m saving very little and as my bills are paid off, that money is getting redirected to my savings. Now that I’ve made this a […]

I paid for a 30 day “free” trial upfront, totally my choice. Once the free trial was over I noticed that they hadn’t hit my card. So I called them and asked when I would be charged. The poor customer service rep was totally confused because she couldn’t figure out why I was pre-billed. Then […]

I just bought a air conditioner at the end of last summer. However my house is so hot that one air conditioner doesn’t even do it. I have a window unit for my bedroom and now I’m looking for a portable model for the living room. My mom suggested that I get a dehumidifier to […]

And it’s not a rewards card which is a bummer. It’s one of the plain platinum cards that doesn’t offer anything. I really want a rewards card though. If I can buy food, photo graduation announcements, clothes or even pay bills and get rewards points then that’s good for me. The service associate that I […]

So can I have my money back? Well I didn’t put it exactly like that but that was the end result. I didn’t pay my eBay fees and the direct pay account that I have attached to my account has been closed for several years. I hadn’t used eBay in almost 3 years so there […]

I have 2 cards that I use a lot. One is my debit card that has a rewards program. The other is my credit card that I pay in full every month. Now one of my old credit card companies has decided to reopen my account. If they have a good rewards program I will […]

I need a new computer. My computer is running extremely slow. I’ve deleted some junk files and programs but it didn’t help. I use my computer for everything. I look up alli reviews, credit card reviews and I’ve even gotten help increasing my credit score. That’s all in addition to just regular surfing and entering […]

I know it takes 2 weeks on average to get my refund but I’m going nuts waiting for it. I have so many things I want to buy. Some of the stuff is small and then there is the new computer that I want to get. I’ve also been looking at contemporary furniture for my […]

Well tax credits to be more precise. They’re causing me to get a nice hefty refund this year. I have my withholding set to 2 so I don’t get a lot held out of my paycheck but I also don’t get a large refund during tax time. My refund usually comes in anywhere from $300-600 […]

I know that sounds silly but I don’t have the extra cash right now to invest in the stock market. There are some great bargains out there right now that I would love to get in on. The problem is that I only have a small amount of cash to invest every month. I know […]
