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 […]
I’m scared. Simple as that.
My tendency has always been to “not worry” too much about price increases on items (gas, electric, etc), but for some reason I have suddenly gotten scared. Gas prices are scaring me. It makes me want to hang on to any money I get right now. It […]
Last Thursday I did a taste test for a well-known pizza company - they said the taste test would take two hours and that they would pay me $50 cash.
Good news: I made $50 and it only took 45 minutes - and I got free food!

Student Loans…that’s a BAD word! My husband started college in 1983 and took out student loans for nearly a decade. Back in the day (a long time ago), we did not have those consolidated student loan. I believe at one point we probably had about seven different student loans with payments totaling $900 per month […]
