Sabrina’s Money Madness

I’m not sure yet though. I just did my school budget and I noticed that there was a tuition hike. I was already short and that’s just exacerbated the situation. I could totally drain my savings and pay cash. Not a bad idea but I had better not have any emergencies or I would be […]

I don’t have a lot of leeway in my budget but I do have some. I’ve made changes to several categories to save more money. I should start seeing those savings within the next month or two. I need to up my medical category. I don’t need medical devices but I do need co-pays for the […]

My computer is really starting to act up. I don’t know if it’s the laptop memory or what. When I open more than 2 pages or if I try to open up multiple tabs, my computer totally locks up. It’s been doing it for a while. I try to do the majority of my web surfing […]

I was supposed to save $500 this year. That was before I spent $600 for school. That means my new savings goal should be $1100. Between paying for school and paying my regular bills, I doubt if I’ll be able to save that much cash. I’m gonna try though.
I’m not keeping track of my net […]

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 […]

I plan on taking the money that I would have used for this semester and adding it all to my savings account. It really isn’t more savings when you think about it because once the summer comes around I will take 2 classes instead of 1 and use that money then. In the mean time […]

I have to use over $1500 to pay for school this semester. I have no choice but to take the money out of my savings which will leave my account extremely low. I have additional expenses now because of my car so I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to replace the money. I’m […]

I was surprised to see that it only took 4 days to get. I’ve actually had it a couple of days already. I expected it to take closer to two weeks.
This time when I go to enter the bond into my spreadsheet, I’ll make sure to note that it’s a EE not an I!

When I added my bonds into my excel spreadsheet, I put 3 EE bonds in as I bonds. It made me look like I had more money than I did. This week I bought another bond. I’m trying to increase my bonds until I have 1 month of my salary in bonds. That’s in addition […]

They really do. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, something else comes along and knocks your socks off. There is now a savings account for pets! I was totally blown away when I read that.
I was looking around for savings accounts for myself. My bank pays pitiful rates and my money is almost […]

I’ve made a decent amount of money from my blog. Not as much as some people but anything is a bonus just for blogging. I spent some of the money on my vacation. The rest is sitting in my savings account for now. There are no bank charges associated with the account as long as […]

I have some money that I won from a sweepstakes. I plan on using some of that to buy savings bonds. I was trying to up the amount to match my paycheck. Since I found out that I typed my bonds into the spreadsheet wrong, this money will replace what I thought I already had.
Hopefully by […]
