Saving Veronica: December 2010
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. The Fives Have It. Several years ago, a coworker/friend who sat beside me got excited when someone who owed him for lunch got a $5 bill. "This'll go in the money drawer! He exclaimed. "What are you talking about? I didn't think much about it then, mostly because I needed pretty much every bill I could get my hands on. I had hefty credit card balances and had just bought a new car. Two fives. And today, after getting $20 from the ATM to get a card, the clerk gave me three fiv...

Saving Veronica: February 2011
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 5, 2011. Bring on the Greens! So I splurged. I'm debating on whether I'll still take the overnight trip to Richmond in April or scale it back to just a day trip. While I can afford to do both, I'm also seeking balance. So we'll see. Friday, February 4, 2011. I hope everyone is having a wonderful 2011 so far and making progress on paying off debt. And if not? Well there's always tomorrow to get back on track. So that's where we are this month. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). March 2009: $12...

Saving Veronica: And Then There Were 2
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-then-there-were-2.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. And Then There Were 2. When I first started this debt blog, I had eight accounts spread among six financial institutions. And then I added a small local bank to the mix. As of today, I'm down to two banks. I'm officially out of the big banks. Yay! In other news, I've had to help a relative with a financial emergency. As annoyed as the situation has made me (he should be more responsible than this), I'm also grateful to be in the position to help. HS @ Our Debt Blog. Nothing h...

Saving Veronica: Monthly Update: February 2012
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2012/02/monthly-update-february-2012.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Monthly Update: February 2012. I can't remember the last time I did a monthly update, and to tell you the truth, I don't feel like looking it up. (I know, I know. I'm lazy.) And this isn't going to be a huge post. But I did realize I hadn't checked in in a while and thought enough had happened that warranted an update. Third, The savings are slowly getting back on track. Mind you, I'm about to eat into it to pay off The Precious, but I still feel encouraged. October 2008: $15,1...

Saving Veronica: The Closer
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2012/05/closer.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. For the second time in less than two years, I've closed on my property. That's right: I finalized my refinance today. Woohoo! My savings has taken a few hits lately. I'll get it together, though. I have to. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Single 40-Something Chick Tackles Her Credit Card Debt. Please keep in mind that this is a blog.

Saving Veronica: April Fool's Day?
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-fools-day.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. Holy crap, it's already April! Where did the time go? In other news, I've upgraded my cellphone . finally. I went with a smartphone (no surprise there), and I haven't looked back. I love it. All that to say this: I've been spendy. I don't like it when I'm spendy. I have to do better. I'm still saving the same amount. However, because I've been spendy, I've been taking savings out to cover it. Sigh. Old habits die hard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. I was in a fender bender this past weekend. It sucks, but there you have it. No one was hurt, but I have expenses now that I hadn't planned on. Rental car . deductible . mental and emotional health (believe me, those last two items are big expenses). The good thing is that at least I have the money to cover the financial part of it. Four or five years ago it would've really. But wow, do I ever hate seeing my savings balance go down. Hate. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. I'm getti...

Saving Veronica: April 2011
http://savingveronica.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 1, 2011. Has it been a month already? I don't have much to report, but I'll give it a go just the same. I had the timing belt replaced on my car finally. It had been plaguing me, so I'm relieved to have had it done. I've also joined a gym. To make life easier I've already funded the account that the dues are coming from. I won't have to worry about it until next year. What else is going on? Let's see . Oh! I'm shopping for mattresses tomorrow (finally! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). January 20...

Saving Veronica: January 2011

Saturday, January 1, 2011. What a Difference a Year Makes. Last year this time I still owed almost $6,000 on my credit cards. This year? Zip Zilch. Zero. Happy New Year! I don't want to sound like I'm gloating, and I hope it doesn't come across that way. But it is a great feeling and a great way to start off a new year.
