One of the bills I complain about quite frequently is my phone bill. I have even more recently included “I Will Resolve My Phone Situation” on my 2010 To Do List, meaning I will either change plans, get a different phone or figure out how to communicate with my friends and family via morse code [...]
Obviously I have way more than 3 things I need to accomplish for 2010 so today I’m adding to my list:
4. Filing and Organization
This sounds strikingly like a resolution, but as soon as I throw all of my unorganized and unfiled 2009 paperwork into a box, I intend on keeping 2010 in pretty, neatly [...]
The first sign that 2010 might be starting out on the wrong foot was when I realized that I completely forgot to post on Friday, New Year’s Day. And no, I wasn’t even drunk or hungover…seriously. Just completely slipped my mind and usually I’m pretty good at remembering. I have also realized that I didn’t [...]
Well, if you read my celebratory post earlier this week, you’ll know that things seem to be working out for me and getting a little better. I called two medical bills that were being debited from my bank account and found out they were both paid in full. (Yahoo!) Of course I do still have [...]
Well, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Bankrupt has some good news. No, I didn’t win the lottery, but for a broke person, I’ve accomplished something just as big.
Okay, maybe not as big, but to me it’s pretty phenomenal. I actually have money in my bank account and am projecting extra money by the time the bills [...]
It has now been 33 days of logging the extra things that I spend money on and looking back I am actually surprised. I honestly thought I never spent money on anything extra but after tallying it all up, my total for food,gas and my daughter’s birthday (which fell within the 30 days) came to [...]
I enjoy saving money and I adore finding ways to get what I want cheaper but there are certain frugal things that I can’t stand. Let me know if you agree…
1. Cheap Gifts
I’m all for saving money and not buying people extravagant gifts, especially when you can’t afford it. I can’t stand giving or getting [...]
Regardless of how you feel about Christopher Columbus’s discovery (or not) of the Americas, there is one thing you can’t deny. Columbus Day is the cheapest holiday that we, as Americans observe. And I mean cheapest national holiday. I’m fully aware of Be Bald and Free Day (October 14) and National Mincemeat Day (October 26) [...]
I just realized that I’ll probably be spending a chunk of change this weekend on my daughter’s 6th birthday. It’s Sunday, and in case you’re wonder why I’m just now mentioning it, it’s because I’m just now planning it.
Yes, I’m definitely a last minute person and actually intended on having her first big party this [...]
My birthday was yesterday, and if that weren’t enough reason to ponder the meaning of life, my dad
found out he has prostate cancer today.
Certainly makes it difficult to write about bills and saving money. In fact, I’m fighting myself from getting
the why-does-any-of-this-matter attitude.
I thought I’d note some of the things I’ve learned from my dad [...]
