Tracking My Finances In 2009: 4 April
Welcome to tracking of income and expenses for the month. Please note that I get paid on the last day of the month so my cash flow net effect will usually be negative until the last day of the month.
This does not mean that I am adding to my debt, it just means that the money coming in is less than the money going out because bills are due starting on the first but I don’t get paid until the last day.
Income for the month to date: $0
Expenses for the month to date: $1146.23
Net effect: -$1146.23
I (Foul Language) HATE The Insurance Company
Every time I think I am completely through with the insurance company they decide to throw me a nice little curveball. I have gone through a heap of rigmaroles with money for hospital bills from my surgery and then ONE YEAR LATER they send me a statement of overpayment.
I got a letter in the mail saying that the insurance was reviewing their records for surgery that I had ONE YEAR AGO and they found that they had overpaid the hospital to the tune of over $900.
Yes, seriously $900 (it is more than $900 but I thought I would just round it off).
Lending Club Loan Is Fully Paid Off!
I have finally finished paying off a loan and I am very happy with the results. This means I am one step closer to being debt free and achieving financial peace with myself.
I took a loan with Lending Club about one year ago so that I could consolidate my high interest credit card debt at a lower rate. I had credit cards with interest rates of 19% and 21% and got a loan with Lending Club at 8.63% which allowed me to save money in fees and interest payments.

Dinero Saves Dinero: Less Television
Meow!
Hi everyone, this is Dinero and I am telling you about another way that I help Lulu save money. Remember I have helped her to save money on heat in Dinero Saves Dinero: Heaters in the past.
Since I have blessed Lulu with my presence she has been spending more time playing with me. This translates to less time spent watching television since I demand ask for about 30 minutes of her time every day when she gets home from work.
How I Organize My USB Cables
I was cleaning off my computer desk and realized that I have a lot of cables for different things. Many of them are specific shapes for cell phones etc. but many of my cables have a USB connector on the end so it makes them a little bit difficult to identify when they are jumbled up.
When you add in the fact that many of these cables are black you come up with the problem that people who have a lot of electronics face. What cable goes with what?
Product Review: Brother 790 CW Printer
I was recently given the opportunity to test and review a printer from Brother. It is the Brother 790cw model and is a
printer
scanner
copier and
fax machine
all in one machine. The printer was shipped to me and the first thing I noticed was that it was a lot heavier than I expected. I guess it has to be heavy since it has all of those components all rolled into one machine.
What I Liked:
Copier works without software installation.
Ink was easy to install.
