About Me

North Georgia Gal

Where to Begin...it is hard to believe that it has been 8 years since I started this Blog. You guys have always been here supporting me and cheering me on.

I recently took out a LOC against my house and paid off all of my credit card/loan debt. Everything on my credit report has been paid off. I now have one payment a month. But I am making 2 payments of $250, which is about $300 toward principle.

In about 3-6 months we are going to try to refinance the loan in just my name(My mom is a co-signer right now). UPDATE: I REFINANCED THE LOAN IN JUST MY NAME.

My budget is still in place for 2 months out, but I am constantly having to adjust it. But everything still gets covered.

I am still working my part time job early in the mornings and on weekends. I don't mind getting up early(4:00) but I hate going to bed so early. I sure enjoy that paycheck though. I am putting 35% of that check into their 401k. i will slowly raise that up to 50%. UPDATE: I HAVE GIVEN MY NOTICE FOR THE END OF SEPTEMBER. I JUST CAN'T DO 2 JOBS ANYMORE.

Lost Money...so Frustrating

September 24th, 2009 at 06:53 pm

I stopped and got $20 to get into the football game tonight. I was fiddling with the umbrella I bought, the chair, and a blanket. Got half way to the gate an realized that the money wasn't in my pocket. I remember seeing it in the cupholder and picking it up. But I can't find it. I have no clue where it went. I looked everywhere! As frustrating as that is, my sister has a good outlook...she said that I just believe that someone found it that needed to buy milk for their baby. So that is what I am going to think. I have found a $10 bill in the bank parking lot before and it was all I had for the week. I called the bank, but of course no one claimed it. But it was really a blessing...so I probably just gave someone a blessing.

I got gas in Jasper, which was about 15 cents cheaper per gallon. So I saved about $2 by filling up.

Got my coupons all organized for shopping this weekend. All ready to do my saving! Can't wait!

The other day I got back 2 $5's plus coins after buying lunch. Later, I pulled the coins out of my pocket but couldn't find the $5's. I've been much more careful since then when I get back change. I still regret losing $10.

That is really frustrating, but I like the mindset that the money just leads to a blessing for someone - hopefully someone who really was in need. The other day I was walking home from class and pulled my keys out of my pocket at the corner... I didn't notice that as I did so I had dropped a ten. A few moments later, as I was getting ready to cross the street, I looked down and there was a ten on the ground! I was all excited until I realized that it was out of my own pocket. I guess I will just have to view it as insurance that I blessed myself (by not losing a ten), in this instance... =)
