I saved myself $50 a month for 12 years by asking for a lower rate on my internet. It jumped from $70 a month to $90 and I called and asked for a competitor match and received $40 a month beating the competitor by $20 a month. The deal is good for 12 months so phew! That's a lot of money I can snowball with.
I have NOT been doing well. Work has been awful, my grandma is at the end of her days, my sister is really sick (no clue why, the docs are stumped) and a guy I was dating dumped me. I am ready for March to be over with!!!!!!! I've spent a lot of money that wasn't planned for this month. I feel like I need to redo my budget and adjust my cushion.
Because I was dumped I charged a small Disney trip. I am taking my son and my mom for 3 days to Coronado Springs next month. I swear this is my last trip for the year....ok I will work on believing that too, but I need to get away. I looked at going somewhere close by and nothing really floated my boat. Kalahari in Sandusky was $600 for the same 3 days and it was only $800 for Disney. Ummmm not a hard choice....I have a problem. I know you guys will understand!
I am working on getting my debt snowball back in order. I also need to plan for November/December better.
I finally found an apartment I like but can't decide if I should wait to move this November when my lease is up or wait for next November. If I do it this year I will be BROKE and very little debt will get paid off. If I wait a year I feel like I could pay cash for the move AND I will have debt paid off which will look more favorable on the application. It's really no difference in price and location. I would move to the next city over (which is literally 1 mile away) saving me $40 a month in local taxes, it's the same school for DS so no changes there, and I would save $60 a month in laundry costs since I'll have a washer and dryer in unit, really it's a wash since the rent is $100 a month more. Its way nicer, even has a fireplace for these chilly Cleveland winters.
