Sabrina’s Money Madness

I took this fun test on my other blog. I changed a few answers and I won’t be quite as rich. Hmm, maybe I should give the bum the money for the coffee.
8,101,586How much money will you be worth?
Take the test and find out how rich you’ll be!

I’m not doing one this quarter and I probably won’t do one for the rest of the year. My numbers are going to fluctuate so wildly for the rest of this year that I don’t know if it makes sense for me to try to track the numbers.
I want to finish school this year and […]

I had to take money out of my savings to pay for school for the summer. I also had to pay for a larger than expected car repair. I was expecting to pay around $250 but the bill was over $600. I’ll also have to take money to pay for a portion of my fall […]

I never did a net worth update for last year. I ended the year with a net worth of $7024. My goal for this year is $10k by December 31st. This will be a little harder than normal to achieve because I have to take $2000 from savings for school and my car. So instead […]

It’s only $10 but it’s from one of my survey companies. For this survey, I had to do a 15 minute survey on electronic media then send them copies of my bills. I know some people wouldn’t be cool with that but it doesn’t bother me. They even let you black out your account number […]

It won’t be done for a day or two. I did do one but it was wrong. I had to spend some of my savings on school and I didn’t subtract that from my cash total. I’ll also probably cash in some of my stock holdings to add cash back to my savings account. All […]

It’s not even the stock market that’s causing this either. I didn’t pass my class so I won’t get tuition reimbursement this semester. That means I have to take the tuition money out of my savings. I also used some of my savings money for a down payment on my car. I was planning on […]

I don’t know what I was looking at when I updated my net worth. I increased the balance on one of my loans instead of decreasing it and I didn’t add my credit card balance. Changing those 2 things made my net worth increase.
It’s now $5226 an increase of $457. I’m closer to that $6k […]

Well my net worth is not where I want it to be. First I thought I had more money in savings bonds than I do. Second, I spent some of my savings for school. Third, the value of some of my stock went down.
My net worth this quarter is $4770. I was supposed to be […]

Well I just realized that today was the last day of the month. I had money come in today which would have thrown my online income totals off. I will wait until sometime next week to do my updates.

Ughhh, and I was doing so well too. When I added my savings bonds to my program, I added the last 3 in as I bonds instead of EE bonds.
I bonds are worth face value (pay $50 for a $50 bond), EE are worth half the face value (pay $25 for a $50 bond). I bonds […]

I own several individual stocks. One of them being the former Mellon Bank. Now the company is called Bank of NY Mellon. I held the shares in certificate form. The shares say Mellon so to get shares in the new company, I have to send in the old certificate.
The new company doesn’t send out certificates […]
