I am tired of hearing the question in its reverse. "What are YOU going to do to make MY life better?" The better question is what are you doing to make your life better. It is the small things that add up to make a...

asyria51 Friendships are important. There are some days where the most I do for my friendships is post on their facebook account. Living more than a half hour from them is difficult especially with different work schedules and having a child.

I am always very aware of what I am spending and how it effects my budget. I set the budget for myself and child when it comes to clothing and very rarely even come close to the budget because I shop at re-sale shops,...

asyria51 My husband has learned the hard way that maybe I do have better financial ideas than he does. He bought a gas guzzling suv, and we could not afford it. We ended up having to trade it in. He made a good decision that time and bought a used Prius. We are...

asyria51 We are in the process of re-financing our mortgage. We will be lowering our interest rate by almost 2% and going to a shorter term mortgage. I think I have it figured out that we will have it paid off in 2025 if we keep paying an extra payment every...

asyria51 I always think and re-think a big purchase. Even with clothing, I ask myself if I really need it or if it can wait until it is on sale. I always want extra in my savings account. Had to live pay check to paycheck for a while and it scared me not knowing if I...

asyria51 I tend to err on the side of staying under budget. I would much rather have a bit in savings and skimp here and there, than be living pay check to pacy check and having all of the luxuries. I hate the feeling of not knowing how you are going to pay a bill. I...

asyria51 I think focusing on being happy is a very good way to live your life. I know way too many people who focus on the negative in their lives.

asyria51 i find that I need balance in my life. It is much easier to find that balance on the weekends. I am not in my classroom with students for 8 hours a day, I find i have more energy to devote to my own child. She is currently napping ( a rare thing for her) so I...

This drives me mad when people start and never finish a job, join a site only because another person has and then do not return to it, write a list of things to do and never do them. I hate hearing from people that they are going...

asyria51 I hate the tasks that never end. AT home that is laundry. It seems like I have it ALL done, and then it is there again. Especially with a toddler in the house, and a husband that works out every day there is always laundry to be done.

asyria51 I have set up a good group of friends that meet at least 2 times a month at someone's house. The person hosting is in charge of the main dish and everyone else brings the sides. Everyone brings what they want to drink. We stay in and play board or card games....

My friend asked me this, and I laughted at her. I said you would be completely stupid without it. Now if you caught without car insurance you can be charged, I am not sure about house insurance (when you own it), I know...

asyria51 I know that this sounds bad, I only know that it is in our policy, but not exactly what it covers.

asyria51 WE were already out sledding, there really is not that much snow. Not enough to really make a snowman. Blowing and icy roads, especially on our rural routes are what closed school. I am going to make some money in between playing with my child, doing...

asyria51 All the movies and shows that I want to get caught up on are not toddler appropriate. She is a "big girl" and has decided that she does not need to take naps. The roads are pretty clear in town, so I think we are going to hit the two thrift stores in town...

My husband feels that my online earnings do not amount to anything, and that my selling stuff through the facebook local classifieds is a waste of time. We made a bet, and it is first to $1000 in any form of currency outside of...

asyria51 It will not just be the online earnings. It will also be selling stuff through an online garage sale. I also tutor occasionally which will help me get to my goal faster.

asyria51 We did not really set a time limit on it. I tutor occasionally for extra money, have garage sales, along with online earnings. I think I should be able to make this amount by the end of May or early June. Especially with Spring Break around the corner, I can...

asyria51 The money is going to go toward our trip to Germany and Ireland this summer. All of the Amazon credit will go towards Christmas presents. I think that the prize is going to be in the form of taking over chores around the house. I really, really, really hate...

asyria51 I had a respiratory infection, that finally moved out of my lungs. It is now fully entrenched in my head and sinuses. I do not want to take antibiotics either, and have been dosing on vitamins and orange juice.

asyria51 He was raised too well to just walk out on his obligations. He would have another job in place before leaving this one, that is why we are stuck in the first place. School districts just are not hiring right now, with the State not paying schools what they are...
