Thanks for Lunch

I got a $3 tip at work today which I used to by myself lunch. Now I don't normally get tips for what I do. I'm not a waitress or work in an industry that is customary to tip so when I get one I am surprised and very happy even if it's a dollar. I may get a $1 or $2, or $3 maybe once a month. About three weeks ago I got my biggest tip $15! That really made my day (doesn't take much to make me happy :)).

Today when I got the tip I was thinking hmmm maybe I should save up all my tips for the next couple months and see how much it adds up (not much I know but every bit helps). Then I was thinking I find pennies on the street a lot, only pennies no dimes, nickels quarters, just pennies. Maybe I will start saving those too. Sounds a little desperate right?

I just got back from a trip overseas and spent way too much money (and hate to admit that I charged a lot of it on my credit card ouch!) so I guess I'm sounding really desperate now for any extra money. But I had a good time and travel is my passion so I tell myself that any trip is money well spent lol!

Can you guess where I went?

Got Paid by ChaCha

I earned $125.35 from ChaCha. The last couple of days before pay out I got really lazy and didn't do it. I guess because I knew I had reached the $100 minimum so I got lazy. Ugh! I'm such a procrastinator!

Behind the Financial 8 Ball, Savings vs Debt

I'm feeling a little behind the financial 8 ball today. I try to save while paying down my debt but at the same time I'm feeling like I'm nowhere where I should be financially. My goal is to be rich! haha isn't that everyone's goal. I feel like just taking all my savings and throwing it on my debt. It still wouldn't pay everything off but I'd be a little closer, but then I'd have no savings and I'd feel even worse. I feel like I have nothing financially to show for for being on this earth for 30 some years. I guess just need to think positively that one day I will achieve my goal.

One Down Two To Go!

Whoo hoo! I need to celebrate for a minute. As of yesterday I paid off one of my credit cards! It took a year and four months to do it. This card had the highest interest rate but the lowest balance I could have paid it off sooner (the balance never exceeded $500). I can't celebrate for long I still have a long way to go before I reach my goal but it feels good to see some progress.

Close But no Cigar

I just took a break from playing catch up on ChaCha. It's the 15th and I didn't make my $100 payout today. I'm up to $80. Well I tried. I'll have to wait until the 15th of next month to get paid. I guess the brighter side is that the reason I didn't make payout is because I've been working a lot more which means more money so I guess that makes up for not making the payout. Well back to ChaCha-ching.

May 15th ChaCha update. They are hiring guides again.

Updated: May 15th, 2009

We have good news! We are now in need of Generalists/Specialists and have opened up recruitment for the Generalist/Specialist Guide role.

Got Paid by Inbox Dolars

I made $30.17 from Inbox Dollars. It took a while because I pretty much stopped doing the surveys and offers only read the emails. They dropped the surveys last year from $1 to .50 cents so I just don't feel like bothering doing them for so little. Maybe I'll start again who knows.

Inbox Dollars pays you to read emails, do surveys, shop and more. Join Inbox Dollars for free and get $5 to sign up.

Free Chicken from KFC

I love KFC so I'm all over this. You can print out a coupon for a free 2 piece meal of their new grilled chicken. The offer is good from 5/5/09- 5/19/09 not including 5/10/09.

Go here to print out your coupon.


Update. I went to the site to print out my coupons because I was going to KFC today and I saw on the website that the offer is over. I guess they had too many people so now they are giving out rain checks to anyone with a coupon to redeem later. I'm just bummed that I didn't print my coupons earlier this week like I was going to. I miss out on so much being the procrastinator that I am.
