Have A Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save That Money!
I know everybody preaches emergency funds and why you should have one. They are speaking the truth. First what's an emergency fund? It's a place that you put extra money just in case you have an emergency. Like a flat tire, dental bill, vet bill, housing problem, childcare problem, etc. Well anyway I know a lot of us do not have the extra money for an emergency fund. I know I don't, but I am challenging myself to try and come up with 75 cents a day which adds up to $22.50 a month. I know it might not be much but it's a start toward building an emergency fund.
Some of you say it's easy to make 75 cents a day. Ok then let me know what you are doing because I am losing this challenge already and I only started on Sunday (LOL). If you can save $1 a day even better my point to you is this saving a little something beats not saving nothing.
So, who's with me let's do this challenge 75 cents a day or bust!!
Have A Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that $$$
I got robbed by Atlantic City. Well, I took a few days to relax, eat and gamble but the casino had other ideas, so they robbed me of my money without offering even offering me any promotions for the loss. Now if that's not robbing somebody legally, I don't know what is. Also, I found out that the percentages on the slots are in the casinos favor. For example, if I play a $1 and win on the machine, I win 80cents. That's not a win in my books that's a loss. I also found out that some combinations that you should win on you get nothing.
I know as a cheapskate I should not be gambling at all but sometimes you need a rest from saving money and just have some fun. Even if it means spending some money to do it. I learned that life is too short to always focus on saving money. You are here to live your life to the fullest so why not take some money and just do you. Don't get me wrong I love to save and get bargains, but I like to enjoy myself to. As the saying goes a brinks truck does not ride with you to the cemetery or something like that.

Have a Great Cheap Cheetah Day
Have a Great Cheap Cheetah Week
Did you know that April is Financial Literacy Month? I got this for you a basic map of what to do this month to start saving money. Things like make a budget, build an emergency fund, pay off debt, save for retirement & last keep track of credit score. For me I will do you one better.
First Save the coins this month they add up to dollars later, Reuse what you can. I wash and re-use my aluminum foil. It's saves me from buying more foil when the roll runs out.
There is no shame in being holy with your clothing. Don't buy new clothes use the ones that you have and if they have holes in them make rags out of them. If you can still wear your holy clothing around the house, do it. I have a tee shirt with holes in the back of it. I wear it around the house all the time.
These are just some of my money saving suggestions.
Have A great Cheap Cheetah Day!
