No Money
I am stressed out right now because I have no money. I mailed $2600 worth of checks to my bank a couple of weeks ago, and they still haven’t shown up. They were mailed to an old address, but they still should have gotten there by now. There was a return address label on the … Continue reading
Let’s Talk Debt
I just watched the movie Maxed Out, which is about the overwhelming debt a majority of Americans live under today. It was a disturbing movie, partly because three suicides are discussed, as are two people who are suicidal but haven’t done the deed yet, all because they’re in debt. People kill themselves over being in … Continue reading
Looking Back
I wrote this on April 5, 2007. Just wanted to look back on it now. I am so fucking scared. Today I got notification of my raise for passing the CI, which is retroactive to the date I took the test (they didn’t do that for my CT, which was 9 months before I got … Continue reading
Whining
It is not a good day today…I feel edgy and I have cried twice. The first time was because of some relationship stuff and the second time was because I lost $30 cash somewhere. I’ve had cash fall out of my pocket before, in the bathroom, so I put up a sign there asking if … Continue reading

(I have a friend who wants to hook me up … Continue reading

The site is small so far, but they point out that most consumers are making less than 1% interest with their savings account, when they could be making … Continue reading

Refinancing Tricks
We refinanced the mortgage a couple of years back and got a really good rate. I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was good. Recently we were contacted again and offered another refinancing deal. We allowed the guy to come over and talk to us about it, and we told him up-front that … Continue reading
Credit Card Rewards
I like saving up points to buy stuff. I participate in a few click-to-earn programs, like MyPoints and e-Rewards. So when I was looking for a credit card – and even before I actually wanted one – I was interested in the rewards programs. I found an article from a few months ago on the … Continue reading
Credit Card
I now have my very first real credit card. I’ve used a debit card as a credit card for years – it’s easier to track your transactions if you do it that way – but when I couldn’t rent a car recently, I decided to get a real credit card. I tried the Hello Kitty … Continue reading
