I hope I didnt offend anyone in my last post, if I did I am incredibly sorry I didn't mean to. I guess I felt like a lost person on here since I moved, which isnt go to well financially wise. But yeah, I am really sorry if I did offend anyone.
Right now Im not doing so well with money. Im not sure what to do, its like I almost have to move back home to save money. Right now after rent I have $160/month, and Im in debt up and over my eyeballs lol. First I had to fight for 2 hours to a boot off my car and owe the city $180, even though they didnt tow my car. I have a $100 college tution deposit to pay before August 17th. I really would to go to college and get a good paying job to get off of welfare since my bf aint gettin out soon enough. And I owe $700ish in Med. bills since Medicaid cancelled me a week earlier than they should of and reaproved me 2 weeks later but refuse to cover the bills. I have the slightest clue as to what to do with myself, Im so overwhelmed and Im probably making more of deal of it in my head than it really is but I dont know. I really would to get my daughter just one gift for her 1st birthday but I dont think I can do with my inspection/car registration in october and her bday in september, which the state just uped $30 so to register my car would be another $150ish and its not worth $150ish to register but whatever I guess I just have to man up and deal with it. But other than that life is just fine and dandy. Jaelyn has 2 teeth now, and saying mama,baba,dada,gaga, and yaya, this week we're working on papa. And she's almost crawling, yeh me :)
I also have lots of exp. coupons to trade but I cant do them yet since I have no stamps yet but as soon as I get them I'll tell yall. I have a few March 09, alot of April 09, May 09, and June 09. I have July 09, August 09, Sept. 09 and a few others so if you want some just comment that you want some and you'll be first to get them. I have a bunch like half of a baby wipes container full to give away. Not sure what I'll trade them or what an equal equivance would be but I'll figure it out..hopefully. Also they'll be a random draw in a full envie, so if you know what an equal trade would be dont be afraid to comment me about it, it would be very helpfull and thank you as well. Well I gots to go now talk to you guys later :)

One thing I might recommend is getting involved in doing surveys.
When there are openings for Pinecone Research, there's usually a post on the website. They pay $3 a survey. Some other sites also pay (do a search for surveys here--I think there's a whole forum donated to it, actually). That's one way to bring in a couple of extra dollars. It's not much, but it helps.Posted 06-26-2009 at 07:41:03 PM by beckycookie

I have a suggestion for you that has helped me out a LOT when I've wanted to buy a gift but no room in the budget.
Take a jar of some kind, a fairly good size one. Every single time that you have coins in your purse or pocket, throw them into that jar but don't touch it otherwise. If you do that religiously, the jar will fill up pretty quickly. THEN, around Thanksgiving or so, go to the bank and get some coin roll papers for the various coins.
Once you've filled the rolls with the coins, return the entire pile to the bank, get whatever money you get from them, and purchase the gifts for your child.
Good luck.Posted 12-04-2009 at 05:31:14 AM by Lev8mysoul
