Sabrina’s Money Madness

I almost forgot. I was looking through my list of bills to be paid and I noticed an unfamiliar looking letter. Of course that made me look closer so I pulled that particular letter out of the pile. It’s my annual auto registration. It’s only $36 and I already have the money put aside so […]

Yesterday was pretty nice and I didn’t want to be stuck in the house all day so I decided to drive to West Virginia to the casino. I only took $40 and I left all of my debit cards at home. That way when I was done with my initial stake it would be time […]

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 got my car inspected yesterday and it cost a small fortune. I was hoping it would cost close to $600 but it wasn’t even close. It was almost $1000 for my car to pass inspection. I could have bought a new pair of christian louboutin shoes for that amount. Or a pair of designer jeans […]

Oh no my car inspection is due. I had my car inspected in May last year and it was late then. In my mind, my inspection was now due in May but it’s really still due in March. The only reason that I remembered that it had to be done was because I was sitting […]

I usually only need a oil change every 4 or 5 months since I don’t drive that much. It wasn’t that expensive either. I expected it to cost a lot more than it did so I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t need to wait for an appointment from the auto center, I can just take my car in […]

I also need to get my tires rotated since I’ve had them for about 6k miles. I get my car serviced at my local Wally World tire center. I can drop my car off and get my shopping done while they do the work. Of course that’s the store’s plan because you’re likely to spend […]

I had my car looked at early because I had more money than I thought I did. I took them to the dealer and he told me that they were fine. The squeaking noise is the “fault” within the car but the brakes are good for now. I will need new brake pads and rotors […]

One of the “faults” of my car is that the brakes tend to squeak when you start up the car. During this past weekend my brakes started squeaking when stopping at a stop sign. It doesn’t happen all of the time but it happened once too many times for my liking. Luckily I don’t have […]

I expected it to cost much more than it did. It was only $33 dollars and that included the oil change and fluid refills for my car. The next time I’ll need to get my tires rotated and get a new air filter. Before Winter starts, I also want to get a fluid flush but  […]

It’s way past my 3 months but I’ve just hit 3,000 miles. I don’t really drive that far or that often so I can really stretch the oil changes out. I just realized yesterday that I’m slightly over the 3k mark so I’ll be heading out one day this week to get it taken care […]

I never did get my carinspected even though it was due back at the end of October. I’ve just been procrastinating about getting it done. I don’t want to sit at the repair shop all day waiting for my car to be done. Besides we all know that once they have your car, they try to up-sell you like crazy. They’ll want to […]
