2011 the year of planned savings

Posted 01-02-2011 at 11:48 AM by ladykemma2

2010 i spent a lot of money, fixing up my house.

2011 will be the year of the emergency fund. for 2010 i have been in miser mode, eating "beans and rice" so i could shop at ethan allen. i tend to have weird motives, anyway. grin.

now i will just be eating "beans and rice" while i refill my emergency fund.

whew. almost done paying back the debt incurred over the summer. i had home repairs done over the summer with no regrets. i planned and executed going into debt. the condition of the house was "bringing me down" spiritually and emotionally. it was so worth it.

now the house is uplifting and a joy to walk into everyday.

huh. finally joined the 21st century

Posted 05-23-2009 at 04:52 PM by ladykemma2

i now have post divorce cable, dsl, and bundled service with ATT.

cash cab was on! i feel like i have rejoined the living. this service is pretty fast, much faster than dialup. i also got free mcafee virus and spyware so can take that off my budget.

changing over my email address was easier than i thought it would be. i will keep the former service on for 30 days.
