Gifts

Written by Saving For A Home Of My Own on July 22, 2008

Since I'm trying to save as much money as possible, I'm trying to be creative with my gift giving. For my younger sister's birthday, I gave her a subscription to Lucky magazine purchased with Coke Rewards points. I ordered the subscription today, so she will receive an issue by (or near) her birthday. Since I will be 1500 miles away, I won't be able to celebrate her birthday with her. Since it's her 21st birthday, I don't think she would want a cake anyway. I also sent her a free e-card...

Your Greatest Wealth Building Asset

Written by Dividends4Life on July 22, 2008

You may think your greatest wealth building asset is the Chevron (CVX) stock you purchased 3 years ago. Even though your brilliant purchase has appreciated over 50% in the last 3 years in the face of a bear market, it is not your greatest wealth building asset. Traditionalist would say your home is your greatest wealth building asset. This is getting closer, but it is not your greatest wealth building asset.

Most of this account will be devoured by necessary brake work, which will cost about $300. I'm planning on having this work done next...

Happy Monday!

Written by Saving For A Home Of My Own on July 21, 2008

I'm back from a fabulous weekend that I spent with my boyfriend! I drove down to visit him, so I wasn't at home. It was nice to get away from my current town.

I purchased two shirts for $24.50 and a second clearance shirt for $4.17. I also had a $10 off coupon to bring the total below $20. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with packing and moving. Since I'm...
