Sabrina’s Money Madness

I wrote a post the other day about making a large payment. My largest payment besides rent and insurance is to pay my monthly credit card bills off. With the exception of one card on which I carry a balance, I use the cards for most expenses throughout the month and pay them off.
With overtime […]

I absolutely hate to see large payments come out of my checking account. Right now I rent, but pretty soon I’ll have a mortgage and that’s the largest check I want to write every month. My car is almost paid off (within 7 months) but that’s a pretty low amount. The only other large expenses […]

I don’t like driving all the way across the state. It’s a long and very boring ride. I don’t any music that I can take along so I’m at the mercy of the radio. You pass a bunch of stations on the ride but there are probably on 2 good stations total. You can be […]

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 […]

My lease is up at the end of March of next year. I want to buy a house next year but my money from the program that I’m in won’t be ready until the end of July. The property management company does let you extend your lease but only in weird increments. It’s either 3 […]

I win a lot of little gift cards. Most are $5 or $10 with the occassional $25 or $50. Well now the holidays are coming up and I don’t know what to get people. First I’m going to gift the gift cards away as gifts. Then I’ll use some of the smaller ones to buy […]

It turns out she didn’t need a charger, after I had already purchased one. Sigh. She broke the piece on the phone where you put the charger. So she needs one of those charging mats where you just sit your phone down. Those things cost $60 from T-Mobile or between $45-50 from Ebay or Amazon. […]

I can’t take this. It is so hot and humid outside and my air conditioner picks now to die. Unbelievable as my friend would say. I’ve only had the unit for 2 years and I used it sparingly last summer. Once I figured how to get it in the window I cranked the air this […]

First there’s the price but that’s secondary to the neighborhood. There’s also a ton of other expenses since I want a condo. I looked at one complex that’s really cool. They’re trying to go green so they’re making improvements left and right. One thing they’re doing is installing solar street lights when it’s time to […]

 I’ve never had to really buy any birthday gifts for children. I usually buy baby shower gifts and that’s all. Since I don’t have any children of my own, I usually don’t get invited to kids’ parties which is fine with me. Now I have a niece and I’ve just received one of the cutest […]

I feel like I buy a new printer at least once a year. I have no idea what in the world I do to them to make them stop working either. I looked on the Wally World website and I saw to all in one devices for less than $35. One is a HP and […]

She wants the new iphone that just came out. I told that we can get her one from an online store later on this year but definitely not before June. I just bought her a phone back in November which she loved when she got it. Unfortunately her sister broke it by accident. Although I […]
