Starting Freshy Fresh 1 week ago

I’m just starting this. I had a great job, made a lot of money then quit and traveled for a couple years. I had some great times and learned a lot of things, but nothing as important as appreciating what you have and not throwing it all away for ANYTHING! It is a lot harder to make money then to spend it… never more true than in these trying times! Not going to be easy, but I WILL BE BACK ON TOP.



I want to be better at financial planning... 2 months ago

Hell, I want to plan period. I have never been good at it and I am afraid if I don’t make a change soon.. like now it will be too late.



Gitsie0Rivets Slow and steady progress.

Time to plan a budget... 4 months ago

If it is one thing I have learned during my unemployment, it is that saving money is very important (duh, right?). It is a huge goal of mine to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.

I finally got a job! I don’t have to move out of my apartment, and this is not a restaurant job! So it is something new! New is good.

I am going to have to work extra hard to save up the money I have spent over the last two months. I also have to pay my mom back.

I want to learn how to be fiscally responsible, so I can take care of myself in the future. The way the economy is now, it is important I learn to save.

I have a HUGE shopping problem that has gotten out of hand. I’m not in great debt but it’s enough to irritate me. I spend all of my money right away and I need to learn to stop. UGHHH.



I bought myself a piggy bank and called him Wilbur! 8 months ago

I have always been rubbish with money, still not great I must admit! So I decided that I needed to start saving money, in a sense in relation with my goal of having a place of my own. In all honesty, I am well aware that a piggy bank is never going to buy me a house! lol But my goal was to learn to save and enjoy it!

Which I did! I love it!

I ahve a piggy bank full of pound coins and the best bit is that I have no idea of how much I have in there! It excites me! However pitiful that may sound! lol

I have learnt to go without some things that I bought for the sake of buying because I never used them. I ask myself; Do I really want it? Do I really need this? Often the answer is no, which means that everytime I answer no…. a few more pounds go into my piggy bank ‘Wilbur’!

Maybe the lessons that Im learning with him will help my goal of my own house happen sooner that I think!

I can dream! lol
