Sabrina’s Money Madness

Today is my first day back from vacation and I wish I was still out on vacation. It was so depressing to walk through the door today. Vacation time is way too short. Especially since I’ve only worked at this company for 4 years so I’m still at 2 weeks vacation.
On the bright side, next […]

I’m on vacation this week and I really wanted to go away for a few days. I didn’t play my cards right so I had to make alternative plans. I wanted to go on a short cruise but I didn’t have anyone to go with me on such short notice. There is a 3 night cruise that was pretty […]

Bummer. One of my banks is offering a bonus if you use your debit card to pay 3 “regular” bills. Including utilities and cell phones, insurance, cable etc. The catch is that you have to pay at least $50.00 each time. I only have $20 direct deposited into that account twice per month. With a […]

The only problem is that I can’t use any of them. I don’t need any work done on my car right now so the coupons are going to waste. I had a gift card that I actually sold on eBay because I wouldn’t have had a chance to use it before it expired. When I […]

I will pay my bills regularly but I’m not gonna go on that credit plan that my credit card offered me. The main reason is that I heard they’re going to “balance chase” everyone. Basically, once you pay down your balance, the company will lower your limit to just over that amount. In effect, you […]

I’m pretty happy about it too. It wasn’t a lot of money because I only invested in 2 loans for $25 each but it’s still something. I read a lot of comments about Lending Club before I got involved with it but I was still pretty skeptical. I didn’t know if these people would take […]

Which is very surprising considering it’s a small unit. It was so hot yesterday that I turned the air on and within 10 minutes I could already feel the difference in the air temperature. I went to the bathroom a little while later and while it was still hot in that part of my apartment,  […]

I think our human resources area just realized what I’ve been saying for a few months now about our payroll changes. Most people realize that we’re getting 3 checks in September and that we’re getting 2 checks in October. But what most people aren’t taking into account is that the 1st check in October will […]

I need another air conditioner. The one that I have that I finally got to work is small and has very low BTU’s. I had to get it that way because a larger unit would not have fit into my windows. Anyway, it cools the room that it’s in but the rest of my apartment […]

It was about a week and a half ago when it was extremely hot outside. The air conditioner doesn’t fit into my window properly and there’s nothing to brace it against. However, it was over 90 degrees and the air temperature made it feel like it was over 100 degrees. It didn’t matter if I […]

I thought I was going to have a good month because I started off with a win. However it just ended up being ok. Any wins is better than no wins. So here’s what I won:

$15 Best Buy GC from My Coke Rewards
30 MCR points from My Coke Rewards
$5 Discover Pre-paid debit card from a […]
