A nice dinner for almost nothing and a little more money coming in

October 11th, 2007 at 02:11 am

A friend of mine wanted to go out for dinner so we went out and had Tex Mex and she paid. I left the tip but that was only $4 and that's all I spent today so it was a frugal day.

I couldn't pay the electric bill because I hadn't received the paper bill yet and that's required to pay it at one of the local stores. But I got the bill in the mail today so I'll go tend to that tomorrow.

I did some more online work today and made another $20 or so. Not big money but it all helps so I won't say no to it. It goes into the regular checking account to help with the bills in November.

I've been managing to save about 10% of everything that comes in and while it isn't anything to brag about I do have a little cash saved. It's nice to know I have that. Apparently I'm a slow learner but I am learning. Smile

    What kind of online work do you do?

    I do some data entry and surveys and such. I used to do work for West but got sick and tired of the obscene calls and unhappy customers and finally gave that up.

    It sounds like you are doing pretty well, and saving 10%, when you are working with little income is admirable.
    Those small amounts are going to slowly add up, and that is what counts.

    Nance, I do try! It isn't easy when there is very little coming in and a steady stream going out. But I'm steadily looking for a job, doing what online work I can, and trying to only spend what I must. Ugh.. it's no fun!
