Happy Martin Luther King Day 2012
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday today. As you celebrate Martin Luther King day today please remember to take some time to think about what today really means.
Dr. King fought for equality and fair treatment and went through a lot to get his point across.
His supporters were beaten and jailed so that people could enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. So I challenge you today to do something nice for someone today while you are celebrating!!!!
I Am Really Ready To File My Taxes
Well I would like to file but I am still waiting on my statements. I know it is a bit early but last year at this time I had most of my statements, yet this year I do not have anything yet.
I hope it is not a case of more places deciding to have you log in to the system and print off your own statements because that is just annoying to me. I have no idea what my tax situation will be this year with the job loss but maybe with having a much lower income I will get a refund this year.
Happy 2012 To Everyone!!!
I would like to take this time to thank everyone who reads this blog!! Thank you for the positive words when I lost my job….you really kept me going with the positive attitude and the kind words.
You guys and gals have stuck with me on this wild and crazy ride and I must say that I have some of the best readers out there. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy 2012 and may we all have better financial situations moving forward.
Christmas 2011 Gifts Are Done!!!
I only planned on giving certain gifts this year long before I lost my job. I just got the LAST Christmas gift taken care of so I am done with the shopping this year.
I did not give expensive gifts but I think the recipients will love what they got because my gifts are very personalized and are things that those people want.
The money for those gifts came out of the Splurge Fund in ING where I had been budgeting and saving money all year round in order to be ready for Christmas.
One Of My Resolutions For 2012: Girlified!!!!!!
The new year is right around the corner and people have started to think about the different resolutions they will make. You can think of your plans as resolutions or goals or motivational areas but whatever you call them, most of us have things we want to accomplish in the new year.
One of my goals is to become more “Girlified” because I am a bit of a tomboy. I do wear skirts and dresses when the occasion warrants, but I really do feel more comfortable just wearing pants.
How To Save Money On A Car (Guest Post)
Buying a new car doesn’t have to break the bank, especially if you are able to pay cash for the cars you buy. And being able to pay cash for cars has plenty of benefits.
First, paying cash for cars means the buyer saves money in car payments, and sometimes in interest. What may be less well-known is that paying cash for cars also may mean the buyer will get a better deal as well.
But to get that better deal, the individual who wants to pay cash for cars needs to know the best strategies.
Why Choose Used Office Furniture? (Guest Post)
Many people think that buying used office furniture doesn’t give off the right message to your prospective clients as it is seen as you are not willing to spend money on your image and this can be perceived as tacky, but the industry has changed now due to the global recession, people are wanting to spend as little money but getting the best value for money as possible and used office furniture is now seriously rivalling new office furniture.
Checking My Eggs To Save Money
I was in the grocery store getting some eggs and going through my routine of checking the eggs for breakage. I do this by opening the carton and scanning the tops and sides of the eggs.
I then lift each egg out and look the bottom and the sides I did not initially see before moving on to the next egg.
I make sure to check all twelve of the eggs and if I find one cracked egg I will move on to a new carton. This means I may spend about two minutes checking at times before I find an unblemished carton but it is worth it as I do not want to purchase any cracked eggs.
