$100 a week for GAS?????
Posted on April 22, 2011Buster had been saying for months that we really needed to get a different vehicle to take the girl to school with, because we were spending almost a $100 a week in gas alone. So, when we got our income tax return back which was dismal, at best, we went down the road and bought the neighbors little Neon.
It’s been a pretty good little car for what we paid for it!!! We’ve put almost as much into it as what we paid, though!! Oh well. We are only paying a little more than half of what we were for gas, so…
Then all we had to do was put the cheapest car insurance on the truck that we could. Which ended up being storage coverage. Cause you never know when a tree is gonna fall or softball size hail is gonna “attack” your vehicle!!!
I have a feeling we will be laying this car to rest before we can trade it or sell it but, it’s getting us where we need to go for now!!! 
Mulah!!!
Posted on March 28, 2011For many of us our month lasts much longer than our money does. When you are on a “fixed” income, as I am, your month lasts much much longer!! LOL (yes, two much-es is a LOT longer, hahaha)
Anyway, some people have said of cash advance online, that they would not have been able to buy much needed medications if not for them. Others have been able to buy books for classes that they otherwise would not have been able to.
I think my problem with these types of things is the fees you acquire aong with the money they give you…but if you HAVE to have money and can’t wait, maybe they are worth it???
What do you think???
Coinage!!!
Posted on February 14, 2011My husband is a coin collector. He likes all those uncirculated coins and proof sets and all that jazz. Every year new sets come out and he buys them, in fact he has them on auto ship…
I’m like “Do we really need to buy gold coins every year? This is not a necessity”. And He is like “Yes, these are a great investment and I’m gonna be able to pass these down to Pumpkin_seed.
What she is going to do with all these coins still remains a mystery to me….
Egyptian Cotton…
Posted on February 13, 2011I don’t think I could ever make myself spend hundreds of dollars on sheets and comforters for my bed. I don’t mean $200-$300, I’m talking like $900 or more. I don’t know how people do it. Luxury bed linens aren’t high on my priority list. Not that I have that kind of money, anyway, but if I did, I don’t think that’s how I would spend it…
I have spent money on Egyptian Cotton sheets before but I think that’s probably as far as I would go…

DEBT!
Posted on April 02, 2010OK, I HAVE to talk about this, it’s driving me insane!! Why would they even come up with such a thing as credit cards for bad credit?? If you have bad credit, why would you even want a credit card?? I understand the concept of building credit with a credit card, but honestly!!! If you are already in trouble, should you really put yourself in that situation?
I would sooner think you would want to buy a small piece of property or take out a small loan, that won’t charge you a 21% APR. I don’t know. I think people rely too much on credit these days. I can see how it’s helpful to have good credit, but it can be very dangerous!!
Blogtastic!!
Posted on February 06, 2010I had been blogging for a very short time when I heard that you could actually make money doing it. A friend of mine told me she was making $200-$300 every two weeks just doing paid posts on her blog. So, I thought I would check it out and see if I could make money at it. Almost two years later, I am making some money, and I am loving it, but I feel like with the right connections, I could be making much more. So when I heard about business2blogger, you can imagine how excited I was to check it out!! They do all the hard work for you, FOR FREE!!! They connect the right businesses to the right bloggers and the right bloggers to the right businesses. So, now that I am signed up with them, maybe I can finally start making some real money doing what I love to do!! Thanks for a great opportunity guys!!

Job Prospects…
Posted on February 05, 2010The State I live in has the highest rate of UN employment in the country!!!! It’s times like this when I am so thankful that I am married to a Godly man who is more interested in being in God’s will than “the bottom line”. He feels that it is God’s will (and so do I) that we work here at Fort Faith Bible Camp as “missionaries”. Not once since we have been out here have we had to worry about paying our bills. God always provides! So even though we are both technically unemployed because we do not have “regular” paying jobs, we are beyond wealthy in so many ways!!

Gifting Idea…
Posted on February 01, 2010I have a friend who likes “unique” things. I am always at a loss as to what to get her for her birthday, Christmas, etc. I find I am always struggling when it come to finding gifts for her. Only because the more “unique” or unusual gifts are often more expensive, although that isn’t always the case. You just have to know where to go to find them!!

What to get HIM?!?!?
Posted on January 15, 2010What do you get the man you love when he basically has everything? I don’t mean EVERYTHING, but I think you know what I mean. I don’t wanna be one of those wives who just gets her hubby what she wants to get. I want to get him something he would want. A new tool belt? A new tool? A Nascar jacket? Money towards the camera he wants (cause Lord knows I can’t fork out that kind of dough). What do you think?
Life Insurance…
Posted on January 02, 2010I am so glad my husband thought enough to take out life insurance policies on not only the two of us, but also our children through his job a few years back. Even though we hate to think anything would happen to them, I would recommend taking policies out on your kids!! When my son was killed in an auto-accident 5 years ago, I was glad we had enough money to have a nice funeral and burial for him. When my husband lost his job, we lost our policies. We recently got an instant life insurance quote from the people who insure our home and vehicle. We got a really good deal on policies for all three of us through Auto-Owners. We are not insured for more than what it would cost for a funeral and burial, but at least we have that!!!!
