Write 5000 Times In Notepad - Do Your Backups

By Mrs. Accountability on July 19th, 2010

Today’s True Confession is about computer backups. We all know to do them, but how dedicated are you to keeping your data backed up? I’ll go first. I suck at doing routine backups. That’s one reason why I decided to sign on with Carbonite.

I’ve really been debating this post because I don’t want to get slammed for being part of a decision that I had little control over. Not to say I wasn’t fully in agreement, it’s just that of course I always wish extra money was thrown at credit card debt. In spite of … click here to continue reading True Confessions – We Bought AJ His First Car

Do You Ever Spend a Set Amount of Money More Than Once?

By Mrs. Accountability on November 25th, 2009

I have noticed over the years that I have a bad habit of doing something when extra money comes in. For example, last month an extra $30 landed in my PayPal account.
