Saving for Baby

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez

My husband and I have started saving up money and it’s actually for a really exciting reason – it turns out we’re expecting our first baby! It was unplanned but it’s fine because we’re both getting up there in our 20s anyway and I knew we’d want to have one soon – my mother’s been bugging me since the day we got married. I love that there are so many cute things to buy but boy are they expensive. I actually went online to look at Reliant Energy options in Argyl to save us some money and we traded in the SUV for something more gas practical. I’ve been picking up extra shifts at the diner, too, so that’s nice and I love that I can help out my family! There’s nothing like being the mother of the house and right now that’s all I’m looking forward to. I feel like if I can help out even a little bit then I’m pulling my weight when it comes to this family and that feels good!

My Time To Invest

I recently met up with a colleague of mine to discuss an interesting investment opportunity. He had recently been introduced to penny stocks. This was something that I hadn't heard of before so I was apt to do some research. Shortly are our conversation I went home, got online and found some very useful information.

At this point I was intrigued. I had been looking for an investment opportunity that would fit my budget. I found a site, buypennystocks.com, that gave me me the history, definition, and a reason for why this was the best investing opportunity for me. The website was informative. If anyone is looking for an investment opportunity, this is the website to visit.

While I was on the website, I found tips and tools on how to buy penny stocks. I also subscribed to the FREE penny stock alerts newsletter for free expert picks. This will be information that I will pass on to everyone that I know. This was the perfect investment for me.

I THINK I KNOW HER

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

I was watching an infomercial on directv when I actually saw someone that I recognized. A girl that was in my graduate program for a year was on an infomercial selling facial cleansers, toners, and lotions. It was a whole kit! I just couldn’t believe that it was really her. I picked up the phone and three way called by two best friends from graduate school. One of my best friends lives in DC, the other lives in Nashville. I told them to turn the television on immediately and see if I was losing my mind or if it was really who I thought it was on the infomercial. With their confirmation, I knew that I was right! I just couldn’t believe that I was seeing someone that I knew on national television. I think that I may be able to be a television star one of these days too! I just couldn’t believe that I was right! I thought I knew what I was talking about, but I also thought that it was a long shot.

Auction Tomorrow

I can not wait until my day begins tomorrow. It will begin with the excitement of cutting locks and preparing spaces for auction. The cars will begin to roll in and wait for me outside of the property gate. People love attending these public auctions. Even when they leave empty handed they come back the following month with the hopes of finding a great deal and being the highest bidder. I have a special space going this month that will be a very interesting sell.

Buying a new home for future wife

The article written by Alonso Kramer
My girlfriend and I are getting married! It took a lot of courage to finally propose. We have been dating for a long time and I was pretty sure she would say yes, but I was still nervous. She is the love of my life and I can’t imagine being anywhere without her. I want to give her the world and make her the happiest girl. I have been looking for a house for us to live in for a long time now. We have talked about it on occasion and I knew several things she wanted. While it would have been a lot easier to take her house hunting with me, I wanted to surprise her. I found a house with a house lot and room enough for a pool one day. I made sure it would be easy to have Ivyton adt security installed. I even made sure there was a big enough closet for all her clothes. I think she is going to be very excited when I show her to place I picked. It is all starting to be so real and we are getting closer and closer to spending the rest of our lives together. She is a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have found her.

School Bills

Thanks for the guest post by Jo Levy

I logged onto Shopelectricityratestexas.com to see you I could reduce my monthly overhead. I recently ran into a bit of a tight spot and need to save as much money as I can. I have had my children in a private school since they were in first grade. When their dad and I divorced, the settlement did not include him paying for private school. I have gone back to work, but did not work for the last ten years and am trying to make my way back up the work (pay scale) ladder. I know that the divorce was very hard on my children. I want to keep them in the same school to try and minimize all of the upheaval and change that I know they are going through. I have talked to the administrators at the school and they have helped me come up with a payment plan, but I still am paying the full tuition for my kids. Every little bit of money I can save every month helps!
