Sick Of It!!

Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am sick of death crossing my path. Death has kissed to many people for me this week alone. First my old co-worker passed and now my aunt has passed to.  I'm tired of death. It seems that when you get a certain age that's all you hear about is death, for once I like to hear Hey, we hit the lottery, hey would you like to go on a cruise for free, Hey Family guess who is getting married, having a baby. You get the idea good news only.

Also, I use to work for Macy's and when I heard it was going out of business. I thought I might as well get a jump on my pension. Because if Macy's goes under there goes the pension. So, I called Macy's benefits department, and they sent me a letter stating that I will not get a pension until 2027. It will be $87.50 a month. Which is held in an annuity.  So, with that I will not be counting on that money when I get 62 because it will not be there. You know $87.50 is nothing to sneeze at I could use that money in the future to pay a bill or buy food with. Now let's see if I get it in 2027!

                                        That's My Story What Do You Think?

Feel Good

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. Feeling good I am a person who loves my money but I realized that money doesn't make you feel good. So, what I decided to do is to reach out and visit friends and relatives I have not seen in a while. I visited my aunt yesterday and after the visit I felt good. Better than money made me feel.

Also, I had to call Verizon the phone company because they had wires hanging from my rental home but get this the wirers were connected to nothing. There is no phone, internet service in the home. So, they came out to remove the wirers free of charge of course.

This week has been quiet, and I like it like that.  That's my story what do you think?

To Mad on Saturday

 Hello all well here's the story I am too mad today. Why? Because I got my oil bill today and it was $950 bucks compared to $735. I know they are both high but going up $200.00 more is crazy. I hate using oil I am used to using gas. But the place I am in now uses oil which is crazy expensive.

I did get a wakeup call this morning with my pension and social security check I cannot live in the place I am living now It's too expensive. Especially with $900 bills for oil. I will admit I get oil every 3-4 months but still it's expensive. I have been too lazy and not really paying attention to my life and finances but now that will all change. I am back on the cheapskate wagon and sticking to it.

Ok I will confess I spent $20 dollars on Mega Million it was 1.35 billion. That's a chance I had to take. If I won 2nd prize, I would be good. But only if the lotto prize is big will I try my luck maybe not $20 but $2.

                                       So that's My Story what do you think?

Wake Up Call

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. I had a wakeup call and it said be a cheapskate again. Why because I have lost about $80,000 in the stock market. You know what I could have done with that money?  I know being a cheapskate again will not bring back my lost money. But it will ease the pain for me from losing it. How because if I can save that money back by being a cheapskate which I was already one. I just fell off the wagon. Maybe by the time I save the money back the stock market will be better. I know wishful thinking.

I also realized that for 2022 I spent a lot of money on food for the year, Groceries and eating out. The number was $5600 for 2 people. For me that's expensive for food for 2 people for the year what do you think? 

I told you that I am firing my real estate agent as soon as her contract is up. Which will be in February. She doesn't have the clients to buy the house and I think for the last couple months she's been bulls***ing me about what the clients are saying when they view the house. She gota go and my house has to sell before August of this year.

                                                     That's My story what do you think?

Happy New Year

 Hello all Happy New Year. Well, here's the story for the first week of 2023. I started my New Years with a broken windshield on my car. The reason for that was my neighbor was having his roof repaired on New Year's Eve and the workers dropped something on the ground and it landed on my car wind shield. What a way to start the New year with cracks. The roofing company paid for the replacement but still.

Never take things and people for granted I learned that the hard way. I found out that a relative passed away 2 years ago and I didn't even know it. I was very close to this person, and I am not going to lie. I cried my eyes out when I found out she had passed, and I was not there to say goodbye. That hurt me to the core. I realized that you never should take things or people for granted and always assume they will be there when you want them Because I realized they won't!

So I hope that you had a happy and safe New Years and that you realize that life is a gift that we should all cherish.
