    amyrun77 Twilight totally is ripping off the Sookie Stackhouse books!

    $175 4 weeks ago

    I had been saving up for a new TV for our bedroom for Christmas, but we went ahead and bought it early because it was on sale. I haven’t had to break into the saving yet and hopefully I can keep saving for awhile. The rest of Christmas is already figured into the budget, so maybe I can grow it a little.

    When It Rains... 2 months ago

    It’s hard to save money when everything around me is falling apart. My car went kaplooie last week and now I have to get another one. Luckily, we have an offer to get an OK one for $1000 from my FIL. I had to have emergency dental work done this week that cost around $400. So, we’re almost broke until next pay day. I have a feeling that what little is in savings will be used to help us scrape by until then. They had a teacher with Swine Flu at my son’s school and I hope more than anything that none of us get it. We really can’t afford the medical bills right now.

    Really hard right now, considering my pay has been cut 15% but I am still going to try. I need to just remember that even if its only a small amount, its a start.

    Set Back 6 months ago

    I had a little set back last week and had to transfer funds from savings to checking. I will try to replenish it this month and get caught up again.

    How Should I start this? I should put 50 dollars away every month.
    If I have spare change, That can be added in there as well! First I need to make a budget.

    12 months later. 8 months ago

    I am worse off now than I was a year ago. that’s because I was in a foreign country (New Zealand) working whilst travelling and renting. And then I came back home with an unfavourable exchange rate which reduced my money even more.
    And now I have to find a job all over agiain.
    However Ihave opened a special saving account with a slightly higher interest rate to put my money into – should I ever make any.
