If you think job hunting is a big pain, you’re right. How many times have you heard people say they were job hunting, only to find out they might have sent out 5 resumes that week. In my opinion, that’s not really job hunting. However, let me just say that I would probably be like […]
Logged in to my checking account today and found my stimulus rebate check had been deposited! Straight to the savings account with that bad boy.
It’s not that I don’t want to spend it, because I do. But I think that rather than blow it on a whole lot of nothing I will just sit back […]
My sisters and I bought my Mom a Pajamagram to celebrate Mother’s Day. My Mom is a little hard to shop for - not because she is picky - but because she is frugal and not high-maintenance. I think we can always do good getting her things like PJs, movie tickets, gift certificates for dinner. […]

Rock bottom - what is it? Where is it? How do you know how close you are to it so you can finally get around to making some changes. We here all the time about how people have to hit rock bottom before they stop drinking, stop smoking, lose weight, leave an […]

Just when you think you are getting the budget under control, gas prices shoot up twelve cents a gallon in the last two weeks. I don’t know about you, but for me, the gas budget is one of the hardest to budget for because the price of gas is so volatile - not to […]
