I had to replace mine as well this past weekend, it was cracked. Thank goodness for 0% financing over $200. I also need brakes. Just glad my car seems to be running better now than before!

Summer is usually crazy for me. I also keep coming down with weird sickness/tiredness episodes. Not so bad I can't function but I've been resting more than usual and it's putting a damper on all my plans. We cleaned out the last of my shoes. A friend of a friend had a house fire and the oldest...

Question/Opinions needed. Yesterday I received notice that I will be receiving a very generous bonus. Before taxes it will be $2k and I will receive it no later than June 30. After I get decimated on taxes since it's a bonus I'm going to guess I'll get between $1200 and $1500. Aside from the...

Congrats!!!!

I have had zero luck with selling anything. I did however get notified of a friend of a friend of a friend's house burned down and they did not have insurance so I collected a bunch of shoes, clothes, and toiletry items to donate to the family that was effected. I dropped one bag and one box off...

I found a home for DS's toybox. It is literally just taking up space in his closet but I have a friend with two small boys so it will be going to a good home. I just have to get it to her, which will probably happen this Friday or Saturday. I have 4 days off this weekend and only have plans for...

:upsidedowI am hosting a French student in August and today is my home inspection so to prepare for that I finally got rid of 7 boxes of various sizes and 1 large kohl's bag! Took them to good will yesterday. I still have 3 boxes of books and dvd's to take to sell but I will do that when i'm...

I managed to clean my crazy messy bedroom and closet. I reorganized my makeup but didn't get rid of anything, I use everything and cleaned it out not that long ago. I did manage to throw away some stuff that could not be salvaged or worth donating. I feel so much better even though I know I need...

I saved myself $50 a month for 12 years by asking for a lower rate on my internet. It jumped from $70 a month to $90 and I called and asked for a competitor match and received $40 a month beating the competitor by $20 a month. The deal is good for 12 months so phew! That's a lot of money I can...

I've been considering driving for Uber or UberEats or something similar to make extra money. I overspent on my girls trip. The good news is my sister is FINALLY getting her life together and is starting automatic transfers from her paycheck to my bank account for all the money she owes me. DS...

Does anyone else go back to their paid off cards account and admire the $0 balance? :rolleyes1 Not that i'm weird or anything...certainly makes me feel better about having such a long way to go. Need some advice- My next card is $2500 and is currently just under maxed out and charges a high...

I trashed 4 pairs of shoes that were in terrible shape and put 2 good pairs into the "get out of my house" pile on Saturday. On Sunday, DS returned with all his clean clothes. I went in to make sure he put everything away and to pack his bags for his stay with family (while i'm on vacation) and...

I really hope you are that unicorn! My morning sickness came during the 2nd trimester and at night with DS who is now 14. I also couldn't eat anything that had grain in it (no bread, pizza, pasta, etc) or else I had awful heartburn for days. I lived on Tums! My 2nd pregnancy (miscarriage) I had...

My mom was denied once or twice (can't remember) years ago and hired an attorney after the last denial. She had one hearing and even the lawyer was shocked at how fast the turnaround was for the approval judgement. It really depends on who is handling the case. Hope everything goes smoothly and...

I filed my federal taxes using Turbo Tax this year and received my refund today. Yay! I also adjusted my withholdings and put a reminder on my calendar to check it each month. My goal is to get back money but less than $1,000 next year. I want to use the extra money this year to pay off debt so...

I have completed refilling my EF and I am back to $1,000 in the bank! I get paid next week so I will be focusing on debt once again. I have a weird situation with my smallest debt. I owe just under $200 to a store card and I tried to make a payment online but my access was denied. Thinking it...

I trashed 3 pairs of pajama pants tonight! They are old and holy and needed to go awhile ago. Not much but I'm sick so I'm considering it a win

I'm very sorry for your loss @dayvewc. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I received my first paycheck of the new year and boy am I relieved. The city I work in had a 0.5% tax hike and I maxed out my HSA to pay for DS braces. I thought for sure the additional money coming out would kill my take home but I'm actually ok. I brought home close to normal pay and was able...

My friends at work were discussing purging items from their closet. Well my closet is intimidating me right now BUT yesterday I pulled all my pictures and other scrapbooking items from my organizers and put all my organizers and paper in a pile to be donated. Today I purged 2 1/2 shelves worth...
