So far so good
Well, looks like nobody likes me. :-(
I'm just kidding. :-)
My blog is relatively new so of course I'm not expecting comments out the gate but with that being said hopefully I can get some feedback asap if not I'm going to be PISSED! ;-) I wouldn't go that far but I would like to see something posted on the site. I would like to know exactly what type of content is needed and which isn't so that's the main reason why I'm asking for comments.
Today hasn't even gotten started yet for most people and I'm already up and ready to go. I'm running on four hours of sleep but I'm used to it though. I've been waking up early since my freshman year at high school so it's really no big deal to me.
My day started at 2am. Kaylen didn't want to go to sleep and I had to stay up with her. Currently she's resting and relaxing now so that's why I'm doing as much as I can possibly do to my site.
I managed to find more coins to go into my future savings account.I'm hoping to open it up either next month or in early September. So far, I found $2.75 in coins downstairs (in addition to the $10 that I found yesterday in my change purse).This currently brings my total to $12.75 in just two days. :-)
I think saving is important especially if you're young, retired, a single mother/father or just an overall cautious about your financial situation in the future. I think people spent too much time trying to "keep up with the Joneses" instead of being content with themselves. Think about it, if people were then the "Me" generation (tweens/teens/young adults)wouldn't be influenced by My Super Sweet 16, MTV Cribs, Laguna Beach(notice the trend yet), athletes, and celebrities in general.
Tip #1: Never buy what you might not have use for in a year.
Basically you have to identify what's the difference between a need and a want. A need is something that you must have. Read this again, something that you must have. A want is something that you desire to have.
- Need: I have a job interview coming up and I've bleach, sewed and plastered my Fila's until they at least look fit to wear. I've done all that I can do to them to make them at least look presentable. I definitely need a new pair of shoes.
- Want: Even though I have 1000 dvds, 250 CD's, and more than 50 video games, I'm getting bored with my new XBox 360. After all, the new PS3 is coming out soon and I really want to get this.
Here are my examples of what not to buy (unless deemed necessary):
Anyway, I hope these tips are helpful to all of you. I know I might have missed a few so stop by and drop me a comment or two of what I didn't cover. If you don't want your name listed on my site (although I don't know why you wouldn't ;-) then you can always do the anonymous post. Don't be scared though. I really would appreciate any and all feedback, positive and negative included.
Well, looks like it's time for me to go. Have a great day everyone. :-)
As always, stay safe, blessed & remain frugal.
Much love,
