How To Get Rid Of Hubby’s Impulse Buying Habit? Comments Off

Oh, it’s so difficult to get rid of hubby’s impulse buying habit!

I thought it’s supposed to be women who have the impulse spending habit? It’s funny that hubby is the one who loves shopping and is easily lured into buying.

As for me, I am the one who would rather sit at the computer desk surfing the Internet and doing the online work the whole day.

I am also the one who loves comparing many best weight loss supplements but not placing any order in the end. :-)

Since being in the debt management program, I am not easily lured into buying.

Out Of $300 Budget Money, $180 Is Spent On Shoes & Clothes! Comments Off

Borrow MoneyI was and am pissed off by hubby’s impulse buying again! Argh, …

He spent some $180 on shoes and clothes yesterday afternoon while I was working hard at home comparing auto insurance quote websites and writing reviews.

So out of $300 that I set aside as this week’s family budget, $180 was gone because of his shopping spree.

Am I too tight when it comes to family budget? But if I don’t control the budget, there will always be no savings for emergency needs.

You know, one of my new year resolutions is not to borrow money from family or friends anymore in year 2010!

Get Your Heated Mattress Pads Ready This Freezing Christmas! Comments Off

Have you got your heated mattress pads ready this freezing Christmas season?

It’s reported that some sleet and freezing rain mixed with the winter storm will begin this Thursday, the Christmas Eve, and continue through Christmas Day and into Saturday.

Oh, love the Christmas season so much! Merry Christmas to you first, in case I am not online for the next few days.

Although there are still lots of last minute Xmas sales and deals now, I don’t think I want to finish January’s family budget money.

Besides, the financial experts love to say this, “There is never ending sale.”

Have To Use January’s Family Budget Money Now Comments Off

Oh, my God! It’s obvious that hubby tends to spend more money during his off days than his working days.

This afternoon, he listed what he had bought during these few days while I was updating his old resumes. I must say that I was a bit pissed off when I saw the shopping list of his.

I know for sure that we will run out of money in hand before the new year even arrives.

Argh, I hate the idea of using January’s family budget money now!

Time For 2010 New Year Resolutions! Comments Off

Make MoneyI am so so looking forward to ushering the 2010 new year. My new year resolution is to keep on paying down my credit card debt without fail.

Another resolution of mine is to make more money from my niche blogs. This means working hard on building links and submitting articles to articles directories to improve the serps of my blogs.

Oh, last but not least, I hope my neighbor’s brother who has been sent to a drug rehab center for more than half year won’t come back in year 2010!

If possible, I hope he will never come back to the village. Even if he has been 100 percent clear of his drug addiction, send him to another place to start his life afresh.

What are your new year resolutions?

Save Money & Pay Back Money Loaned By Family Comments Off

I am happy for buddies who are going to enjoy their holidays at one of the south beach hotels the end of the month.

How’s your vacation plan going on? And how are your Christmas shopping sprees? Hubby and I aren’t going anywhere and won’t be spending much on Xmas gifts.

We want to save more money as emergency fund and pay back some money loaned to us by family members.

It’s time for us to really start paying them back although they are so kind and never rush us to pay them back.

Is There Still Money In Google AdSense? Comments Off

Is there still money in AdSense now?

The above comment appeared in the comment section of my blog post ‘It’s Likely to Reach $30 Daily from Google AdSense and Affiliate Products‘ in June this year.

I was too lazy to reply the comment and waited until now, after more than 5 months!

I was making $10 daily on average at that time. Now I am still making $10 a day. Sometimes it’s more than that. My next goal is $15 a day.

So, is there still money in AdSense now? I can tell you the answer now, YES. :-)

From A Temp Job Worker To A Full Time Job Worker Comments Off

What a piece of good news before the year 2009 ends! My buddy’s hubby found a full time job after weeks of being jobless.

I think he had himself to thank for because of his nature of selflessness and helpfulness. He loves helping people, even sometimes without much monetary gains.

According to my buddy, her hubby took up a temp job of laying tilesfor 2 days. The pay was so little, but he was fine with it.

Due to his selfless nature and good workmanship, the contractor called him with a fulltime job to start next Monday. Happy for him!

Still In Holiday & Shopping Mood! Comments Off

Still Holiday MoodHi, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over. What’s next? Christmas and New Year!!

Oh, I don’t feel like working at all! I am still in holiday and shopping mood. Isn’t it great if I could be off from now until the first week of January 2010?

All I want to do now is eating, sleeping, surfing the Internet, finding the best deals on hard drives for my computers, playing games and going shopping.

Stop it! Stop being lazy! I should be happy that I still have jobs to do and money to bring food home.
