Things About Me

Okay so here are some fun facts about Monica! Enjoy!

Getting the mail excites me. Sometimes it's the highlight of my day...I know that sounds kinda sad but I do get lots of goodies and freebies in the mail (many of which I forget I signed up for) so it's like Christmas in my mailbox everyday!

I've never eaten a Big Mac. They look gross to me. And I love hamburgers. Mmmm....

I HATE spending money. HATE it. That's probably why I love coupons so much. And yes if I am waiting in line I snoop other people's grocery carts and size up how much money they could be saving with coupons. I used to offer coupons to other customers but once I think I offended an old lady so I quit and keep the savings to myself.

I LOVE conspiracy theories and documentaries. I find them absolutely fascinating! Mention to me any conspiracy theory and be prepared for me to talk your ear off for the next couple of hours. If you like this kind of stuff a good movie to watch online can be found here www.thezeitgeistmovement.com.

I am very creative and have many side jobs and income producing ways. Last year we made almost $200.00 from consigning clothes, I sell on Kijiji, I mystery shop, I do taxes, I make "gift baskets" with freebies I get from coupons and sell for Mother's Day and Christmas, Mail-In-Rebates sometimes yield me money if I used a coupons, and more!

I believe that nobody has has your best interest at heart than you. Many of the "professionals" are nothing but "sales people" so educating yourself first is key before seeking advice from a "sales person". This holds true from buying a car, investment your money to choosing a vacation destination. Think about it! Knowledge is power, don't be suckered into fancy talk or false promises. It can cost you!

Have a great weekend!

I am amazed and impressed at how you've paid down so much debt in the first three months of 2010. Fatastic! You're almost half way there!!!

Actually the debt was at it's highest ($44,500) at the May of 2008. I wish it was that easy to pay that much off in 3 months!!! Basically the debt was a combination of student loans, home repairs, remaining car loans and gobs of stupid purchases. We really cracked down when I decided to quit my job and be a stay-at-home mom in 2008. We did really well but last year we added another $10,000 to do upgrades (like a new furnace, electric upgrade, installing a pool that was given to us by my parents) to take advantage of the government tax breaks and grants. We are anticipating $4000-$5000 back from the programs but that's a few months away. From here on out we are on our way to debt-freedom!
