I Am Officially Out of Money

Money sucks. I am officially out. I had a savings account for my kitchen, but that has been drained and there is only $29 in it now. It had gotten up to about $5,000. I have been spending too much money. Mostly doing dog things. Well, my money is just about gone, so I can’t spend any more. I canceled my Weight Watchers account, my Netflix account, and my Gevalia Coffee account.

Plus my car’s air conditioner went out a month ago.. $400 to fix. Brakes were not good… $500 to fix. My car getting hit when I was doing flyball down in St. George Utah… $500 to fix (insurance deductable). And the kicker.. $1500 we owe in taxes. About a third of which was from my blogging earnings.

We don’t itemize because the interest in our house is not enough to get us over the standard exemption. But I’m going to call a tax guy… I donated a heck of a lot to Utah Collie Rescue last year, maybe that will help. And I increased the amount of taxes taken out of my paycheck, maybe I need to increase it more. Yuck.

I hate it when all this stuff happens at once. So when I go to Colorado tomorrow, I will have $100 cash on me, and $200 in my paypal account I can access with my paypal debit card. That’s it. I cannot buy much of anything but food and gas.

Hrmph.

YUCK! I suggest you start putting part of your blogging earnings into a special “tax” account. I know I am doing that this year!

Money sucks!! I really hate it. Mostly because it prevents me from doing all the fun dog stuff that I really want to do. Those dogs just get sooo expensive!!!!!

Fingers crossed things get better for ya! Oh and have fun in CO! Traveling on a small budget can be stressful but still fun!!

Hi,
Just hang in there, things will get better for you. Money is a big problem with this world. We all have to have money to live. Just be thankful you are alive, have food & gas money. Take care, Robin

Thanks Christy I’ll have fun as soon as I get going. I do have to remember I’m on a budget. I have a hard time with that when I’m out and I feel like I should splurge.. but I just cannot!

Thanks Robin. I wish we didn’t have money, and had a society like Star Trek.

Hi I know this is a bit off topic, but do you mind me asking where your blog earnings come from? I’m a bloggie newbie and am hoping eventually to get a bit of income from my website and blog
