A Few Things

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I realize that getting old sucks. But I am glad that I have a chance to get old. Had a birthday this week. Let's just say I am over 55 and leave it at that. I spent some time at a casino which I like to gamble and came back a winner of $16. Nothing to special for the week but I did realize that I have lost my desire to be money hungry like I use to be. Now's it's about family and friends and spending time with them. Even if I speak to them over the phone, it still counts to me.

Still trying to sell my house but it would help if I listed it with s real estate agent first. Also remember that real estate agent I interviewed a couple of weeks ago. Well, this lady is calling and e mailing me like we are long lost best friends. Saying that's she's worried about me and that she cares then she goes on to rant about her cats. I knew she was a bit dizzy when I interviewed her, but this is crazy.

Trying to sell off all my inventory from doing flea markets and collecting (vintage  Barbie dolls & G.I. Joes) over the years. That's a slow process because nobody is really buying with inflation going crazy. I can't blame them. I am also trying to hold on to my cash as much as possible. You never know when you might need it.

                                         Well, that's my story what do you think?

Reality Check

 Hello all well here's the story for the week first the good news I got to spend time with my mother. Since the last time I saw her was last year. I was determined to spend time with her for her birthday which I did. I realize that life is too short, and time is fleeting. So, I try and use my time wisely by seeing the people I care about as often as possible.

Now a Reality check money wise. I was on a spending spree. Well short of when it came to buying food and other things that I needed I was not looking at the prices like I should have but then BOOM!! Two things came in one my property taxes which are about $9,000 for one house and $5,000 for another one that we have and the bill for the new car I just purchased which will be $470 a month. Talk about bills hitting you all at one. Now I am pay attention to my money. Because homelessness is not an option for me.

You would think that I have a couple dollars since I did not go on vacation for 3 years. Oh well I am pay attention, and you should to.

                                                  That's My Story What Do You Think?

Used Car Are How Much??

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I got a new used car if you want to call it that. For Memorial Day weekend I went looking for a car because my old car a 1984 ford escort was starting to show her age. She was costing to much in repairs. Her gas milage was good and milage on the car was about 35. I would have kept her but she was getting to old and showing it.  She had dents and bruises in a lot of places.  So I ended up with a 2020 Hyundai Elantra which looks like a big car but drives like a small one. I love her but the price not so much. After all the bells and some of the whistles she cost me $27,000. Which is way to much for a used car with 13 thousand miles on it. But get this I wanted to pay cash but the dealer said with the incentives of $2500 off the car I had to get a loan. I hate loans of any kind. So I ended up with a loan but the good part is that  they took my old car and gave me $500 for it. Which was better then me trying to sell it on my own. The car loan payment will be about $470 a month which now I have to find a way to make that money. Did I mention I hate loans.

Other then that the week has been buzy running arounds doing a community yard sales so that I can make money toward my car loan of course. Which you know I did not make. I was lucky if I made $20 bucks but to me every penny counts.
