My Financial Oath to Myself

November 29th, 2006 at 06:51 am

*Get myself out of the Financial Blunder I had put myself in.

*Pay off my Parents in 4 weeks because they helped me get my all weather tires.

*Pay off my CC again.

*Pay ALL my Bills before anything else.

*The BIGGEST OATH OF ALL is do not sign the list to go home early anymore.

Right now I will be Depositing:

$12.00 Rebate Check for Gillette Razor
$9.30 Cash Crate Check
$5.00 Pinecone Check
$1.50 Jerky Check
TOTAL $27.80

Which will bring my Challenge up to:

The Cost of being Sick

November 10th, 2006 at 05:13 am

$33 for Over-the-Counter
$24 for more Over-the-Counter
$30 for Medication
$20 CoPay

TOTAL $107

Loss of time at work with no Pay PRICELSS. (Only TWO Days PTO every THREE Months)

I have been sick for over 2 weeks with a horrible Cough, the Doc says it is Viral, and it will go away when it wants too.

Funny how my Job consists of Phone Customer Service.

Still not better, improving Slowly.

Sloppy with Finances

Its really BAD LIKE BAD! EEK!

I know, get my Finances in order and keep track of my spending...I am so BAD EEK!

I think I have a problem when I go Grocery Shopping, these last few weeks I have going over my Budget and buying things I don't need. I don't know why I do that. Am I worried I am going to run out of Food or what? Confused

Anyway, after everything that goes through that is supposed to go through I am going to get back on track. REALLY WORRIED about going in the RED.
