Getting Ahead of your Debts and Expenses

0 comments
Being broke is terrible. You can't do things like get lunch with friends or go out for a drink or just even pay your Internet bill on time. All of these things can take a toll on someone who works hard every day and yet can't seem to get ahead of their debts and expenses. Saving is one way to get ahead. It takes time but with diligence, you can start to build a lump sum to pay off all of your debts.

There are also ways to earn extra money. Selling old furniture, electronics, antiques or even your car may get you through a difficult period. However, there's also another way that people have been using for years. Many people have been getting online payday lending with USACashServices.com - it's free to apply and they provide upfront terms and conditions with their fees and repayment schedules. It's important to only choose pay day sources that are regulated and provide this information clearly on their website.

It can be difficult to get out of the rat race. Many people want to do fun things and go out every day, but they just can't afford to when they have so many bills and debts. With a pay day advance, you're actually just getting the money that you need when you need it and paying it back later. These are great for individuals with low credit, lots of debt, late bills or who just want to take a vacation and can't afford to wait.

Learning French

1 comments
After more than ten years of being together, I still find the Family Man a little weird sometimes. He actually does a lot of things that are not commonly done by most people I know. For instance, he is fond of collecting dead mosquitoes that has intact abdomens thinking that it might be used to cure AIDS in the future. Another thing, three years before we got married, he prepared this special sauce made of vinegar with lots of spices in it saying that it will only be opened on the day of our wedding. True enough, the special sauce he made was served during our wedding day.

Here’s more. We have talked about migrating to French – speaking country for our family’s future. One of our concerns is the language barrier especially that we do not speak nor understand any French word. I was so surprised when he went home one afternoon with a thick English – French dictionary. He said he bought the dictionary as a gift for me so I can start learning French. I actually did try reading and understanding it but I find it very difficult especially that most letters and words are pronounced differently from how it is being spelled like agence immobilière gatineau. Now, tell me how you read those words? Hehehe

Between the two of us, he is the one who is very persistent and interested in learning French. He always uses the word je t'aime instead of saying I love you. Aside from reading the dictionary, he has also done online researches which led to maison à vendre gatineau thinking that it was another French translation website.

Diary

I’m referring to a physical diary or day planner, not a mobile app. Why not an app? A physical diary means you have something to quickly scribble on when you are in a rush.

Living Within Our Means

0 comments
The husband and I have different ways of choosing things especially when it comes to our personal wardrobes. As a typical homemaker, I am more particular with the price when buying clothes and dresses. I usually go for those on sale and things that are not that pricey so to speak. I believe that quality goes with the price so I deemed it practical to buy high quality wardrobes every once in a while or when our budget allow us to, but if not, going to the thrift shops is my option to at least create a wider selection on what to wear especially when we need to attend parties and events.

This “being thrifty” attitude of mine, one way or another makes my husband both happy and sad. He is happy because he knows that his hard-earned money are properly spent but somehow, he is also sad that he can't buy expensive items as often as he wants to because the family’s finance officer is kind of strict when it comes to the budget and allocation of the family's finances and that is no other than me. Hehehe

In these times where family income is just enough to support the family's needs, it is really important to be tight and modest with our spending. Life is easier if we try to live within our means and make use of the available resources and be contented of what is already there. As long as there is food on the table we don’t have anything to worry about. I am just thankful that we were exposed to the reality of life at an early age. We were taught not to be envious of what others have but instead work harder if we want to achieve something.
