Sabrina’s Money Madness

I love my work computer. We get new pc’s every two years so we always have the latest model of computer. We have anti-virus protection and all of the windows packages including adobe. Most of us have desktop computers but some of the managers also get laptops. The upside to the laptop is you can […]

Blech that was so totally stupid. I say all of their money because it was cash that I had won during the preceding weeks. I took my older purse which had a lot of cash in it. I just kept grabbing 20’s and feeding the machines. It wasn’t until I had spent the vast majority […]

I went hog-wild last weekend shopping. I bought a pair of pants and several shirts. I also bought a lot of random items that I needed. I have to work on Friday so I won’t be out with the Black Friday crowds (I usually work so I almost never go out on that day anyway).
That […]

Any kind of music. lol.
I’m sitting here at my desk listening to the O’Jays on my phone. I have headphones so none of my coworkers have to listen to what the same thing that I am. I have a new Ipod or mp3 player on my holiday list as my present to myself.
I have a […]

My coworkers and I were discussing this the other day. One said that he cuts it into little pieces and throws it in the garbage with old food. That way no one will search through day old (or week old) food looking for anything. The other coworker cuts his into 3 or 4 pieces and […]

I had gotten a quote from another company over the internet that was $50 cheaper than what I’ve been paying every 6 months. While not a significant savings, it was savings none the less.
Then I asked about renters insurance. It’s just easier to have both insurance policies with the same company. There is also the […]

My policy is due to be paid on Friday. I have the money ready to go but I’m ready to switch companies. Again. When I got my premium renewal I was surprised that it didn’t increase for the first time since I’ve had the insurance. It’s still less than the premiums that I was paying […]

But my niece is digging in my pockets right now and I am so not happy. I had a whole list of things that I wanted to buy. I want a pair of sneakers, a pair of boots and a new purse.
I also had a whole slew of victoria’s secret coupons that I wanted to […]

 During the month of October I added $265 for a total of $1155. My goal is $2,300 by May which means that I still have $1,145 to save. There will be $95 more dollars added to my 10% fund which will keep the account open once I reach my goal so it’s only $1,050 for […]

October was a awesome month for my sweepstaking activity. I won a lot of prizes. It was especially nice since the summer was so dry and I hardly won anything.
I won:

2 coupons for a Dove candy bar
1 coupon for a jar of mayo
$10 Shop etc gift card
A collegiate prize pack including a t-shirt and a […]

Just as an aside, I spelled “hole” when I drafted this post. I spelled it “whole” and then I looked back at it just before I hit submit.
Anyway I won some money at the casino. Yippee! Now I have to decide what to do with it. I have an extra $75-100 that I want to […]
