Moving in July 19, 2006

Posted by Administrator in : Saving , 7 comments

It has been a while since I posted. Since then I have been working at my two jobs pulling long hours each day and the spare time that I had was dedicated to sleep and only sleep. Finally today I have a day off and I used it to move out of my current place to move in with my brother and his fiance. One good thing about moving there is that rent is cheap! My rent will be $217.00 per month which equals to a savings of about $180.00 per month in just rent alone not to mention cable, utilities and other costs associated with living in a place. Over a years time thats a savings of $2,160.00. My plan is to still act like I am paying my old rent but the savings from it will go directly in to my savings account. My thing is if I lived with that cost of rent the past year then why cant I this year but just take and save the difference.

I am thinking about a gas card? June 14, 2006

Discover Gas CardLike the title says I am thinking about getting a gas card. I am not sure if I should get a pre-paid gas card or apply for a credit card rewards program for gas. The thing about the rewards program is you should pay the amount off as soon as you can to avoid interest cutting into your WALLET.

Gas StationI have done some searching around and to save you some trouble here are some great links I think to help you and me decide is it beneficial to have a gas card.

I recently started an online savings account with EmigrantDirect.com and find it very easy to use and agree with this small business owner in this video clip.  It is really a no brainer
