Loving Vegas & More




Hello all here's my story for the week. I am in love with a place not a person. I love Vegas and I am looking to move there in the near future. Like 3 years from now. I have a lot of clean up I have to do to get my house in order before I move. But I have been looking at apartments online. I am also thinking about getting a condo there. I'm in the research stages right now. I know one thing I have to get the Heck out of New York, It's to expensive and the money that I have saved over the years will not last me long if I live in New York during my major retirement years.  

Repairs are for the birds I ran all over town yesterday trying to find a place to repair my DVD Recorder. Since I try and record all of my TV shows  on it  because it's cheaper then getting cable. But I had no luck. Most of the places I went to like best buy and other electronic repair places keep telling me to buy a new one or they can fix it for $500 bucks. Really?? The system did not cost me $500 so why would I repair it for that much! On top of that they do not make this system anymore so where could I possible buy a new one at??? Everyone is pushing cable thanks but no thanks. I will think of a way to get this thing repaired or I will just miss my TV shows that's all

Summer is coming I know it. New York has been pretty cold for spring but summer is coming and with that instead of me going to yard sales I will be doing a few. Need to clear out a whole lot of stuff. Will keep you posted.
So what do you think?

Making Money & Misc Talk

Hello All well here's the story for the week. I am trying to get my life and my mess in order. I am dumping all my unnecessary stuff and selling the rest. I need the money to go on my Hawaii cruise next year and I want to live a minimalist lifestyle. So out the junk goes and believe me I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. Want some of it?

My taxes were ok this year I just knew my favorite uncle , Uncle Sam was going to bless me with a nice refund. Instead I had to pay the fed $1000 and the state gave me $300. So I am out $700 from my personal pocket. What kind of Uncle is that to take $700 from a non- working person. A bad one that's what. 

My Challenges the coupons one is not going to well and the dollar a day is not bad. I made so far about $38 on the dollar a day challenges. The coupon one about $7 I saved for the month of April so far.
  
Life in general is good it's getting warm out so it's time to hit the street and start my walking. God I need to put down the cake and start thinking about my weight. I want to look good for my cruise next year. Suppose to be going to Atlantic City this week will tell you how it went later on. Hope to win some money. Lord know I could use it. So that's my story What do you think?

Real Whopper: Most Expensive Burger



 Hello All, One of my favorite things to do is to watch how much people will spend on foolish things like this over the top burger. This burger is way more then the price of a burger king or even a Five Guys Burger. Crazy People with Their Crazy Spending Love it!

Matress Hunt


Hello All here's my story for the week. I am on a mattress hunt. I need a new one because the one that I am sleeping on is pretty old. But the part I want to tell you is that when did mattress get so darn expensive. Here what I am talking about

First Stop Sleepy's Mattress store found a queen size  mattress, box spring, pillows, mattress covers, free delivers and removal of old mattress, sheets and bed frame all for $1800 tax not included in the price

Second Stop P.C. Richard they were having a mattress sales, Serta queens size mattress, box spring, frame, pillow, mattress protector, free deliver and removal all for $ 1998.

Third Stop Raymore & Flannigan Serta Queen size mattress, box spring, frame and  free delivery but if I have them bring me a  headboard it would cost me $65 for delivery.  Even though the mattress and the rest of the stuff is free delivery. Cost would be $2500.

When did getting a comfortable bed get so expensive? And now a days you have to fight with the salespeople for free stuff for the price that they want which is about $1800 on average.

Needless to say I am still looking for a good  Serta mattress cheap. Any suggestions?
