Weekly Money Check Up {01/23}
Written by Erica on January 23, 2012 – 7:30 am -
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on Car Insurance. It’s gone up quite a bit now that I will be living on my own. OUCH!
2. Today I am thankful that today is a PD Day at work. I get to learn how to do report cards. I have the best teaching partner ever!
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was visit with my cousin, her husband and their almost 2 year old daughter. They live in the states and came to visit our grandparents, so I went over for dinner to show them house stuff.
4. I will consider this week a success if I don’t spend any money, except for paying my master card and cell phone bills.
5. The craft I am currently interested in right now is the craft of not spending money. Seriously, I don’t have any to spend, but I have so many things to buy. lol
Weekly Money Check-Up is a fill-in-the blank post once a week. The first four questions are always the same each week and the fifth is always different. Care to participate? Fill in the blanks in the comments section or post it on your blog and link back to My Pretty Pennies!
