First Blog - Thoughts
Posted 09-15-2015 at 12:50 PM by Shaner
Hello! I have thought about starting a blog for a long time, and having an hour at work today waiting for a meeting is giving me the opportunity to do it.
To be honest, I have no idea what direction I want to go with this. Should I write my experiences down, 1 at a time explaining how crazy/disheartening/entertaining/fulfilling my job is? Should I write it in a personal diary form? Or, should I write about the things that drive me crazy in life, expelling my frustrations for all to read about?
Today shall be about saving. This summer has been odd. Very busy, but more with "looky loos" than actual buyers. Between my g/f's surgeries (she had a horrible car wreck 2 years ago, we are on surgery #5 now) and experimenting with different forms of advertising, I killed my savings account this summer. Saving should be something taught in HS, learning how to budget for the what if scenario's. I have always been ok at saving, not particularly great, but ok.
As I sit here, I have $13 in my account to last the month, 3 dead sales in the past month due to people not listening to what the people lending them money tell them and thinking they are smarter (they are not) and I am frustrated with myself for not saving more.
The lesson here; don't overspend because you never know when it will bite you in the butt.
