Pet Insurance?

August 29, 2011

If you have pets, do you have pet insurance? Why or why not? I'm looking into getting pet insurance for my cat. The plan I'm looking at costs $22 per month and covers costs incurred because of an illness or injury, and has some additional benefits (takes $250 off of boarding fees ... Read more...

My Next Paycheck Is Short By $157…But I’m Not Stressing

March 25, 2011

The extra pay that I get for my tutoring programs is very complicated to actually get. I'm in charge of the tutoring program, which means that not only do I DO the tutoring, but I'm responsible for (among many, many other tasks) faxing the time sheets to the woman at our central ... Read more...

Personal Loan, Be Gone!

July 16, 2009

I just wrote out the check for my very last payment on my personal loan. Ahhh. It feels nice.I'll probably owe them a couple bucks in interest next month, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm done. It's over. The monkey is off my back. Now I'm free to pursue my other financial ... Read more...

Did Comcast Come Through?!

May 14, 2009

Actually, I'm pretty confident that they did. I got in touch with one of the Comcast representatives that posted on this blog, and she put me in touch with a higher-up at Comcast of Northern VA. The higher-up adjusted my bill substantially, so now I have an $88 credit on my ... Read more...

Oh Comcast, How I Loathe Thee

May 4, 2009

So, a while back I mentioned that I thought that paying $63 per month just for Internet seemed outrageous, so I called up Comcast and asked about getting a cable/Internet deal. The nice woman on the phone told me that she could give me a promotional cable/Internet package deal ... Read more...

Addition to Spring Break Plans

April 4, 2009

Additional plan for Monday: find a new Internet service provider. I just got a bill from Comcast for $63! I knew my rate would jump once my one-year deal ended, but $63?!! Just for one month's Internet! Absurd. Any suggestions? ... Read more...

My Need-Wants

March 15, 2009

I've done a lot of thinking about my need-wants, so I'm posting my list now. I know that some of the terms I use are a little bit vague ("occasional"), but I'm just trying to make the point that some of the items on the list I don't do all the time, but I need-want them from time ... Read more...

Payments, Psychology of Personal Finance

April 10th, 2009

March 2, 2009

Is going to be a big, big day for me. Yes, it is Good Friday. And yes, it is my brother's 19th birthday. But the big news for me is that this will be the day that I send in the very last payment on my personal loan. I just crunched some numbers and figured out that on April 10th, ... Read more...

Playing Catch Up

February 27, 2009

Being sick for 4 days was a major bummer, but the bummer has followed me beyond just those 4 because I've been busy playing catch up ever since! I'm really behind on my grading and lesson planning, as well as chores around my apartment. Which means: I'm staying in all weekend to ... Read more...
