It's Hard Be Cheap

                                                             Hello Family Happy New Year

Hello all well here's the my cheapskate story so far for the New Year 2024. Can we all say Rip Off. I had a taste for a whopper and I went to burger king. I usually get cheese with my whopper but now they are charging you $2 extra for a slice of cheese. I told them forget it. I ordered the regular whopper which tasted nasty, and it cost $8 a whopper from the normal $5. This year I am staying away from fast food it's too expensive and nasty tasting. It's hard being a cheapskate when prices keep going up. after I purchased the whopper I said I should have just gone to the store and got a package of ground beef and make a burger myself. At least I could have made a couple of burgers for later on for the price I paid for two whoppers.

So are we trying to save money in 2024. I keep saying I'm but bills always come in the mail that have to be paid and things break down which cost more than $200 to get it fixed.  I have set a budget for myself of $20 for fun stuff like me playing the lotto or getting a small treat. when the 20's gone for the month then I can't get another one until next month.

So how's the frugal/cheapskate life treating you so far. And are you saving that money like your suppose to be?

Happy 2024

  Happy New Year Family Your probably taking advantage of the after holiday sales right? But wait.... ask yourself do you really need more junk to add to the junk you already have? Make sure that you are doing some kind of money challenge this year. I heard of a good one it's the weather money challenge whatever the weather is for the day in your city that's the money you have to put away for that day. I like this idea. So  for example in New Yorks it's 43 degrees I would have to put $43 dollars away today or you can do it weekly so every Monday whatever the temperature  is that's the money you have to save. If you don't have that kind of money to put away then use coins and put 43 cents away instead. As long has your saving something that's the whole point of it.

                Wishing you a happy new year be Safe and Save that money!

Shocking!

                                                        Hello Cheap Cheetah Family 

Well, I was shocked today. I got a medical statement saying how much my medical expenses cost for the month of November it was a whopping $4500. The insurance company paid $3000 of that. Mind you that $4500 is a month because I have some medical issues that are expensive. If I had to pay that it would cost me $150 a day which I don't have. So my questions to you with high medical expense how one can still maintain a cheapskate/frugal lifestyle and pay the bills. Living in New York is expensive as is but being sick is crazy expensive. I read in a book that said it cost you about $100 a day to stay above ground if you're sick more like $200 a day.

I always say to you try and keep some kind of medical insurance because you might be healthy now, but you never know when you're going to get sick and need that insurance. Even if you have to sacrifice something else to pay for it in the long run it's worth it. To have a piece of mind.

 It hard being a cheapskate now adays but I am trying. Have a blessed and happy Holiday.

                                                          Be safe and happy!

Free Free

                                                                   Hello Family

It's that time of year again where the banks are giving out free stuff. For example, my local banking is giving its customers free calendars for 2024, plastic clips to seal your potato chips bags, key chains, free coffee, cookies and sometimes they offer $25 gift cards if you enter a drawing. Hey, I say whatever you can get for free since your money is in that bank and that's what they are probably using to give you the stuff they claim is free anyway.

So how was your thanksgiving? I hate to say that I was wasteful this year. I had a ham that was a few years old. My cheapskate self   cooked it. That ham was so dry I had to throw it away. I hate to waste food, but you couldn't eat the ham. My point being we are buying food because it's on sale but if the food goes to waste because we don't eat it. It's wasting money ether way. You might have saved money on the purchase but wasted it if you never use it. So, try and purchase what you know you're going to need withing a set time frame and save money doing that. Only my suggestion.

There is nothing like scary information. I was watching a YouTube program about how the middle class is almost phased out because of the high inflation and that more people are homeless and hungry than ever before. especially here in New York where living her you have to make over $100,000 a year and that just putting you in the lower middle class not the middle class.  Now that's scary. When I need motivation I watch a program like  the rising cost of inflation it gives me a kick in the boot when it comes to getting back on the cheapskate wagon. What's your motivation?
