I’ve been stimulated!
It was a very interesting week, wondering if I’d get a stimulus payment. My SSN ends in -40, so I thought that I would get a direct deposit earlier in the week. But I’m glad its here already. I have a few plans for it. Renew my driver...
I *HEART* Mint
I’ve been using Mint for about 2 months now. It sends me email messages periodically, and in today’s mail, I got notice that there was a fee on my just paid off Card B (According to my statement, they received my payment 21 days before my...
Entrecard
I noticed a widget for Entrecard on Kacie’s blog, Sense to Save. So I signed up. I wanted to advertise on her blog, but she needs a TON of credits to put my card on her blog for the day. I wonder how she got so many credits. So, an open questio...
Budget Part 1: Fixed Expenses
In the next few days, I’ll have all of my credit cards paid off, and my emergency fund full (for now). I thought I’d look at my current budget. I’ll do this in 2 parts. Fixed Expenses and Variable Expenses. Rent: $400 per month Car ...
Saved some money
Our IT guy came to the office yesterday to help one of my bosses with his new blackberry phone. Turns out that Sprint/Nextel didn’t port the number fully to Verizon when they activated the new phone. Anyways, I started talking to the IT guy abo...
Paid off!
It’s official! I paid off Cards A and B today! $986.06 worth of debt, GONE! It feels so good! If I can figure out how to change my charts on the side-bar, I’ll update them. I also fully funded my Emergency Fund today. Great day for everyo...
Card A under $300!
I have been snowballing this card like crazy. It is currently at $283. I should be able to throw an additional $25 at it this month. I can’t wait to get it paid off!...
New Credit, Old Credit
At the first of the month, I called Card #2 to see if I could get a credit line increase. I wasn’t eligible for an increase at that time, so I applied for another card with the same company, but with a lower interest rate. Currently Card #2 is ...
Year is starting out better than expected!
I have this really bad habit of checking on my student account to see how much of a refund I’m going to get. You see, with my employment, I am entitled to several free credits for my education. Also, because I’m an adult learner, I’...
Today is the day
I asked for a refund of my tuition…..well, student loans. Yesterday I was notified that my student loans were deposited into my student account and that I could ask for a refund. I had previously planned on using that to cover expenses that I c...
Spring Semester 2008
Classes start on January 14th. I have already bought my book for my class, $66.33 later. In good news, my Spanish text from last semester carries over to this semester, so that’s good. Speaking of college semesters, I’ve been seeing an up...
It’s been a while
Since my last post, but I felt like I needed to post something. Yes finals are coming up in a week, I start a new job on Wednesday at the school I attend, and it finally snowed something significant here. Despite all that, I’ve been able to kee...
Today I spent nothing!
For a while now, I’ve been trying to go as many days as possible without spending anything. I think that today was day 2 of no spending. I spent less than $25 on groceries on Sunday, and with gas at over $3 a gallon, I’m even trying not t...
