Getting rid of expenses

I intend to put the extra savings towards my credit card bill.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I am trying to save some little money every month. It makes a change at the end of the year.

@LadyDuck It certainly does. I am going to try to save money this year in many ways. 1 The acorn app, I want to try that out. I need to look into it more. 2 I have a "savingspig" which is an online bank that is set up for expenses / vacations. I want to save more in that. 3 My way2save which is a savings account that takes $1.00 out of every debit purchase you make. So if you make a $15.00 purchase, you technically are making a $16.00 purchase. 4 Loose change from selling things. I want to take the loose change from selling items and save it up. Then after so long a time I'll go to a coinstar and get an amazon giftcard with it.

I did it last year as well. I like to try to start the year by getting rid of things I no longer need / want.

@JustBhem It makes all the difference. I feel like it helps start the new year right. I will sometimes rearrange my bedroom a bit as well.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Which is good Amber, I would like to do that as well. Thank you for sharing this idea.

It is hard to stop drinking coffee. I know because I used to drink it all the time (frozen frappucino's) and they are so unhealthy. They are especially unhealthy for women, or so I've heard. Maybe you could convince him to drink two a day. One in the morning and one in the evening. I need to start drinking more of my herbal teas, I've slacked off and it shows.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have one cup of orange pekoe tea a day and then drink water all day long. Unfortunately my husband is going to do what he wants to do and no one, not even a doctor, can tell him otherwise.

@patgalca I drink water, blackberry ginger ale (obviously not healthy but I will drink it until they stop carrying it. It's a seasonal thing), raspberry leaf, lemon ginger and turmeric teas.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I am sure you will get those books read in no time.

My friend has satellite. I can never find anything to watch when I'm at her house. I use netflix and mazon the most anyway. I'll miss kindle unlimited but I need to read the books I have. I will have a long "to be read" once I re-subscribe to KU.

I'll just put it towards my credit card now, but I still count it as saving.

@Courtlynn I am not spending anything on my creditcard now as I wait to catch up.This $50.00 will help me catch up even faster.

@ScribbledAdNauseum ooh. Thats a good idea.

That is money I could be spending on my other obsession.. books. Heh, but I don't intend to buy anymore until I've read through what I have.

@Courage7 That is not good, you need your nourishment. Is there anything you could sell? Or a service you could be rendering to help you get caught back up? A few years ago there was a forum that specialized in debt consolidation. The people who ran the forum paid for posts including just general nonsense posts. The forum itself was about debt but their aim was to help those in debt. I believe the forum was an experiment of sorts as they had stated they were only going to pay for a few months. I think I may have earned $12.00 from them.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I too need to come up with more money fast so in debt because of this stinking move I had to move..I am not eating a lot of days to make it.

I have hard of readercoin but I believe it only pays cents on the dollar. There's a sister app for podcasts as well. I will have to get slingtv again when baseball season starts. My grandfather uses my sling to watch the after shows of his favorite team. I used it for the DVR, but I don't do much watching to television. Sling is still my favorite "Cable cutting" service though.

Oh definitley. Every little bit saved is money earned, atleast in my book.

I've gotten these physical books over the past several months. I think I might schedule out a day that I post a book review. I need to finish reading a Simone St. James book and give it a review. That way it holds me accountable for reading and gives me an outlet to express what I thought of the book. Win - Win - Win as I love discussing books with people here.

No way to just get a signal booster? We have to use one here. The modem is in the back of the house and my bedroom is at the front. The signal booster sits in a bathroom in the middle of the house.

$50.00 certainly adds up very quickly.
