that is wonderful!

so what is the first paycheck going to buy? any plans for it or what?

NOTHING! It's going to pay electric, phone, and internet! that's it!

ETA: any left overs will be tucked back in case we need something....like deoderant LOL toilet paper and soap!

 

[FarmerChick]

smart gal.
remember one thing--take at least $5 and hide it. anywhere. in the closet, in a jar, anywhere. Just $5 per week. It ain't a ton, it doesn't add up to a ton, but when you need fast cash, you saved it.

Just $5??? we were thinking a good $10 LOLOL

 

[FarmerChick]

if you got $10 to spare then YES YES you do that.

many times when I have "some spare cash" (like who does right, but I find some) I throw $5 sometimes or $10 or maybe a $20 every now and then into an old upright lamp fixture I have in my closet. Out of sight ya know......I counted it the other day and I have $385 in there...WOOOOOOT!

now my mind is "what to buy"

well--nothing you dope! HA HA---that is emergency money in case something stupid happens, like medical emergencies I need deductible money etc. etc.......

you go for it...there is nothing like a small stash of hidden money!

I love mine.HA HA

Well, now we ALL know where it is! LOLOL

I have a suggestion, just a suggestion, but take like $50 of that money, adopt a kid off an Angel tree for Christmas?

 

[FarmerChick]

oh no never touch that money for anything but family emergencies.

BUT, yes I do that anyway
what kid doesn't need something....I definitely share at Christmas. This time Nicole will pick a kid also off the tree.

I also give to the local veterans here. they throw a party for kids and such with presents and santa. Good time had by all.

It is a time for kids, time for smiles and warm hearts......I so agree!

HAHA good plan good plan!

We did the shoe box Christmas one year. And we have helped with Share A Christmas in the past, even if it was just wrapping the gifts purchased, etc.

The last few years I was only able to donate food, but I made sure I donated A LOT of food!
