Archive for February, 2007$20 ChallengeFebruary 28th, 2007 at 01:41 amAdded $4.08 to the challenge brining my new total to $1198.91 MypointsFebruary 27th, 2007 at 04:00 amI just checked my points with Mypoints.com and I have a total of 3,050 points. This is great because I plan on cashing in, in November for X-mas gifts. I am hoping to have over 10,000 points which would give me at least 3 GC. You need about 3250 points for a $25 GC so if I can hit my mark by November that would be great Continuing the trendFebruary 27th, 2007 at 03:17 amNow that I am debt free Affordable or notFebruary 27th, 2007 at 03:03 amI have a friend who is currently looking for a BMW. Anyhow she realizes that she can not afford $600 a month on the 5 series ( the one she wants) and now is considering a lease because her payments will be much less and she could afford it with the option to buy. I said to her if you can not afford to buy then it is not affordable if you have to lease. I am I wrong; she thinks this is just a great idea. I have tried explaining to her even people who are financially set tend to not lease statistically $20 challengeFebruary 25th, 2007 at 05:26 pmI stayed home last night saved about $30 but I am onky adding $20 to the challenge + $1 for not spending today Tip of the DayFebruary 25th, 2007 at 04:38 pmThis was in my inbox from the Dollar Stretcher and decided to share: Change of PlansFebruary 25th, 2007 at 05:10 amWell I was planning on going out tonight and decided not to...basically the person I was going with did not want to wait and I was going to drive myself anyway, well it all worked out because I saved some money about $30 ($10 cover charge and two drinks at $10 each) More money added to my challengeFebruary 24th, 2007 at 01:00 amI added to the challenge today in the amounts of $.64 (rounding up the change) and $9.11 (had lunch and dinner out) I AM DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!February 23rd, 2007 at 10:28 pmFinally I am totally debt free $20 challengeFebruary 23rd, 2007 at 04:42 amAdded to my chllenge today.

So I added my first $100 to the challenge + an extra .51 giving me a new total of $1149.29 leaving me with $850.71 to go before I reach my goal for the month FinallyFebruary 21st, 2007 at 09:27 pmSold a book on Amazon, I will make $11.50 so I went ahead and added this money to the challenge. Adding to the challengeFebruary 21st, 2007 at 05:53 pmAdded $16 to challnge because I had breakfasto out and dinner, so I needed to match this amount New goalFebruary 20th, 2007 at 01:47 amI have set a new goal, and that is to save at least a $1000 a month towards my new house which will give me $11,000 end of December. Any how I just added my weekly deposit of $25 + .20 to my challenge brining my total to $1025.97. So wish me luck EF never failsFebruary 20th, 2007 at 01:44 amYou know I never knew what it was like to have a EF. Now I am trying soooo hard to build one up. Today was payday and I would have had an even $1400 but I had to lend my brother (the one who never borrows) $200. My nephew his youngest son went to jail on Friday and he needed money for bail and an attorney. Now my brother has been having problems with this kid before his mother died and now it seems like he is simply out of control. If it were me I would leave him there. Any how the point is we all need a little cushion because you never know what will happen. $6 added to the challengeFebruary 19th, 2007 at 11:39 pmYep I added the $6 in order to catch up to Tina ...lol. So Now I have made my first $1000 towards my new home now I have $15,000 to go yippie. Nephew's birthdayFebruary 19th, 2007 at 03:20 amWell my brother sent my nephew down for a few days and he will be turning 4 next week so of course he made a suggestion to my mom that we have a little something for him, and of course I am always the one ending up spending the most. I do not want to talk about how much was spent it was less than $100 but more than enough. We had pizza and a cake and then I had to buy two gifts one from my mom and one from me along with batteries. But my mom said eveything went well because I had to go to work So closeFebruary 19th, 2007 at 03:17 amTo meeting my $1000 challenge goal, I just added $8.89 to my challenge/home account brining my total to $994.77. I can not wait until I meet my $1000 goal and start working on my second thousand. I feel like transfering monye from my EF account just to meet this goal, but I'll wait tomorrow is payday and i will add the six bucks then Adding money to the challengeFebruary 17th, 2007 at 01:34 amI have been eating out like crazy, I need to really buckle down. I had breakfast out and dinner at least I bought my lunch. So aded to the challenge $4.16 $20 ChallengeFebruary 16th, 2007 at 01:59 amI feel like God has a plan for me. At times I feel lik I have not made any progress with much in my life but then something hits me. My car is paid for, I have close to $2000 saved in case some thing really does come up (never in my life that I can remeber other than taxes did I have $2000 saved). I also have no cc debt, it's funny because when I get my check I feel like I am missing something (a bill that is). And after I get my taxes I will be able to pay off my last debt which is my student loan. Maybe next month I can try the 60% solution or start depositing $475 (that was what I paid for rent when I lived on my own) into my house account. We will see |
