Burnin’ a hole

I sure have been giving away money lately. I gave $357.81 to the repair shop yesterday. I’ll be giving around $200 to the repair shop (or some other one) within the next 2 weeks to get my front brakes replaced. And now tonite I spent just under $300.

I’ve been wanting to get a new camera for a while now. I have a Canon PowerShot A75 that has served me well for years. Almost 4  […]

My financial future is bright

A couple years ago, I got my credit report for the first time, thanks to AnnualCreditReport.com. It’s nice to be able to check it out and not have to pay for it. Last year when I got my report, I decided to spread them out, since you can get the report from the 3 spots (TransUnion, Experian, Equifax). No sense in getting all 3 at once. If I spread them out, then I can  […]
