The World’s Most Expensive House
Anyone remember Apprentice winner Kendra Todd? No, I didn’t think so. Anyway Donald Trump (aka “The Donald”) used her previous experience as a real estate agent and had her doing some renovation work on a house he wanted to flip.

And the down payment account wins by a nose…
I received a $5 paypal payment from PPP. I debated depositing the cash into either my moving fund or my emergency fund. However, I decided to just add the money to my down payment account. This brings my down payment account to $4,007.69, which is 13.3% of my $30,000 goal.
I plan on adding any money made through PPP, SocialSpark, and Google AdSense to my down payment account. I will deposit my second job pay checks into my moving fund. I will divide my checks from MySurvey between my…

iTunes is evil…
Since my blog is anonymous, I can admit that the first purchase I made with my $25 iTunes gift certificate was I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry.
I’ll probably download a few episodes from Dirt, Season 2. I will probably keep buying My Boys episodes too…I can’t wait a week until the episode is released to the Internet for free (very unfrugal of me).http://feeds.feedburner.com/SavingForAHomeOfMyOwn
Old Notebook
I found an old notebook (before my discovery of Moleskine); and I was mesmerized by the old me. At 24, I was just starting to create a budget, pay off my credit cards, and save for retirement. At the time, my parents were paying my car payment and car insurance. I wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet because my roommate had skipped town and I couldn’t find another one. I cancelled my cable, turned down my heat, and paid $785/month for rent.
I was making about $33,000 and contributing…
30 Days: Minimum Wage
I watched Morgan Spurlock’s 30 days of making minimum wage. I will admit that I was annoyed at first, but then I realized how hard it must be to make ends meet at a minimum wage job.
I laughed when Spurlock was looking for free activities in Columbus, Ohio. I also teared up when I saw their hospital bills. The health care industry is ridiculous and unchecked. It’s hard for me to stomach the ridiculous expenses of simple things like ace bandages. In order to avoid a rant, I will just end…
