By Mrs. Accountability on August 20th, 2009

I’m sure you are too savvy to be misled by the fake “make money at home ads using Google”. Only $1.99 or $2.95 for your “free” kit and you too can be making hundreds and even thousands a month!

I Really Want a New Laptop Bag

By Mrs. Accountability on August 19th, 2009

I really, really, really want one of these: Targus 15.4IN Metro Roller for Notebook Bag. AJ has one and it is such a nice bag. I love how the handle goes down into the side and you don’t even know it’s there. Then when you pull it out, it slides right up and snaps [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

The Price of Bread is Outrageous!

By Mrs. Accountability on August 18th, 2009

Can you believe the price of bread from the store? Over four dollars a loaf for some types! Goodness! I don’t really eat much bread, but Mr. A likes to have sandwich bread on hand for sandwiches. He always tries to buy bread that is on sale, or at least the cheapie store brand [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

My Hubby Fixed My Car A/C for $30!

By Mrs. Accountability on August 17th, 2009

I wrote about how Mr. A had hooked up a switch for my car’s air conditioning. It worked great for a couple of weeks but then the switch stopped working. By that point I was feeling more comfortable with the new “setup” and was okay just hooking the two wires together. Then last week [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

July 2009 Monthly Report

By Mrs. Accountability on August 16th, 2009

I promised last month that I was getting back to monthly reports, so here are the numbers for July.

We were under budget on some items, but over budget on others. I need to find some way to budget gas so that it doesn’t include Mr. A’s business usage. $413 went for my [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Learn to Cut Hair – Save Money

By Mrs. Accountability on August 15th, 2009

Yesterday morning was hair cutting day around the Accountability household. Big A has alopecia, so he has been bald several years. Actually, he started losing his hair in chunks when he was two years old, and he now is dead certain that I shaved off his hair and that’s why he’s bald. He at [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

PaperBackSwap Club

By Mrs. Accountability on August 14th, 2009

I’ve heard about these book swapping clubs, and decided to check into PaperBackSwap. I joined, then browsed around and clicked a couple of books onto my reminder list; then I saw one that looked very intriguing and put it on my wish list. I guess the “wish list” is when the book isn’t listed [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Agh, Another Dumb Mistake!

By Mrs. Accountability on August 13th, 2009

On Tuesday I just couldn’t wait to write up a big ol’ complaining post about what the bank did. But I had to wait to see if it really was the bank, or was it me? Turns out, it was me. AGH. But I learned something, and isn’t that what really counts? Because thankfully, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

I Think I Found An Accountant

By Mrs. Accountability on August 11th, 2009

I’ve been asking friends and acquaintances if they have a CPA they can recommend. I have received a few recommendations, but several weren’t taking new clients.

Then the other day, one of our auditors came by to start the proceedings for the yearly audit at my job. While she was asking the normal questions, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Auto Insurance Due Again

By Mrs. Accountability on August 10th, 2009

We pay our auto insurance every six months. We have three vehicles insured, with three adult drivers, one soon to be 20.

I feel a lot of pressure and stress about our debt. I just wish it would go away. It just seems to be overwhelming at times. If I had more energy, if [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
