The Funeral

Hello Everyone. Well here's the story for the week. I am so tired of hearing that my beloved Sears is closing even more stores. Soon all their stores will be closed.  When that happens I will have to find another place to get a job. You know that was my spot when it came to looking for jobs. They always called me for interviews and offered me positions but it was  always a bad time for me. That's why when they offered  I had to turn them down. I will miss Sears when they do finally close all of their stores . But I will be there for their final days when they go out of business sale. Their going out of business sales will produce some good bargains. I hope.

Jury Duty is over and I think I will be getting about $150 for my service. Which I could use.The trail that I was on was interesting and I was surprised about that because most of the time they are boring. It was a civil case. Now it's back to finding ways for me to make a buck or two.

I am still doing my challenges which are not going so good that $1 a day challenge is not as easy as it sounds. I am mostly focusing my attention on doing my $20 dollar hustle challenge. I will let you know how that goes. Well that  my story for the week what do you think?

My Yard Sale Adventure for 2017

They Got Me!!!

Hello Everyone, Well here's the story for this week. They got me.... Jury duty called and I had to answer the call. I will be on it for abut a week. The good part is  I get paid $44 dollars a day. The bad part is sometimes Jury Duty can get  pretty boring. But I never look a gift of getting paid in the mouth.

Guess what happened?? I use to work for Macy's  back in the day and they owe me a pension. So I contacted them to see if I could get a check for the amount of my pension before time. They wrote me back saying I had to wait until Get this. 2037 until I could get my pension of $70.57 a month from them. I read the letter and said really that much and that long??   This is why I never depend on anybody but myself for my financial future, because companies can get funky even when they owe you $$. So that's my story what do you think?

My Coins

Here's My Story for now. I just wanted to share with you what I have collected. Yes it's coins I collected a plastic bucket full of coins. When I rolled it it added up to $75. Now what I am going to do with that coin is this.....
$25 will go toward my investment of Kellogg's stock, which would leave me $50. $25 of that 50 will go toward my holiday club. and the remainder $25 I will try and make or start a business with it by finding stuff at yardsales cheap to resale for a profit. So that's what  I am going to do. Hopefully there will be more coins to collect in the future I will keep you posted!  So what do you think?

Weight Watchers On The Cheap

What A Month!!!

Hello Everyone. Well here's the month in review and what a month it was!!!

First  I received a summons for jury duty that I have to start calling this Friday to see if they need me for Jury duty. If they do it pays $40 bucks a day so I am hoping that they can use me because I can sure use the $$.

Also Con Edison our Electric and Gas company screwed me good. They charged me $25 extra on my bill because they could not get into the house to look at their equipment. Needless to say  I made an appointment for them to come and they did a no show 2 times. Yet they still charged me the $25 on my bill. I called them, I have another appointment this week and  they better show up or else.

Know who else tried to screw me for my $$ my new gardener . My  partner told him that he wanted certain things done in our back yard the gardener did it no problem. But my partner failed to get a price quote for doing the job. So when all was said and done the gardener wanted $700 freaking bucks!!! My partner talked him down to $300. But still  I was pissed that's why I always tell my partner get a price before any work gets done. I hate paying extra for stuff. I budged $20 a week for the new gardener and that is all he should be getting.

So yes this has been a month to forget money wise. Hopefully May will bring some needed cash in. So that's my story what do you think?
  

Losing & Saving

Hello Everyone. Well here's the story for Mid-Week. I decided that I needed to lose weight. I wanted to do Weight Watchers again  for the 20th time. The first 19th times did not stick but this time I think it will. Well you know me I don't like to spend money. So I purchased  the Weight Watchers materials the books and counters  that will help me get started off of eBay for 10 bucks including shipping of course!!  If I had went with Weight Watchers Regular weekly program I would have spent $12 a week which equals to $48 a month compared to the $10 I spent. Big money difference. I also use Spark People to do the weight challenges and keep track of my weight goals. Will be starting on this no eating the good stuff anymore on Friday...

The Dollar A Day Challenge first 4 days of it anyway so far I have save $10. This is how $4 I won on a lotto ticket, $5 I saved myself by not using fivvers for a project and doing it myself and $1 I saved from using a coupon. It all adds up and it's only Wednesday. Yea! I figure this money I will  earmark for my cruise in November.

So that's my story this week so far what do you think?
