It’s all about Money Saving and Money Making, ya dig?
But there’s a catch….
THERE’S ALWAYS A CATCH.
As quoted on The Cheesecake Factory’s site:
…featuring all cheesecakes at $1.50 per slice, limit ONE per guest, dine in only…
Bummer. They could’ve at least gone with a 2-5 slice limit. Geez. I feel ripped off for wasting my breath and time reading about this. I can’t help it, I like to eat! A 2 slice limit @ $1.50 would’ve been better.
Gotta love the fine print!
If you haven’t been keeping up with the news and the state of our economy lately, it SUCKS!
Stocks are falling and banks are in danger of closing. If you haven’t been paying attention lately, you may want to keep your ears and eye open to see what will be coming in the next couple of days.
IndyMac Bank was seized by the FDIC and some have flown in from all over the country to IndyMac’s Headquarters in Pasadena to get their money withdrawn. Most people with over $100k in funds have reported only getting a small percentage of their money back, although the FDIC allows insurance up to $100k. Which means if you have funds in the seized bank totalling over $100k, you’re not likely to receive the full amount back.
The tumble continues as more banks have been hit. Washington Mutual is a bank that I have accounts with and considering the state of its stock price, its most definitely high on my radar at the moment.
What are you thoughts?
I was shopping at Target a couple weeks ago and bought a ton of stuff for the apartment I recently moved into. As I was leaving Target, I had one of those feelings where I was forgetting something. About 10 minutes into my drive I realized that I had forgot the box set of cookware underneath the cart!
CRAP!
I’m sitting in my car trying to get through traffic to get my ass back to Target. Once I arrive in the parking lot and explore the area, my new cookware was gone. Great. I walk inside Target and hoped that a Good Samaritan had dropped it off at the Lost and Found. Unfortunately it didn’t turn up there either. All hope was lost at this point and the cashier pulls a manager to help me.
I’m waiting for the manager thinking doing the whole “I’m sorry…” speech, but the manager approaches me and I before I can finish explaining my case, she tells me to grab another set. As I’m leaving, I find her and ask if I need to check it out or show it to a cashier. She advises me to be careful next time and I go home and enjoy my cookware.
Karma comes in different forms and sizes. Either good or bad.
When it comes to money or pretty much anything in this world, they are all materialistic objects. When you pass away and leave this world they don’t come along with you. When you give your time and efforts to the community, it’s a great feeling! You work hard at it and humble yourself. Sooner or later, your positive karma grows and the positivity in your life becomes more abundant.
What have YOU done today?
And as they say…
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! I spent my holiday weekend back in my hometown of Chicago for my buddy’s bachelor party. I’ll have a write up on budgeting your vacation soon. You can’t go on vacation without outlining your expenses, otherwise you’ll end up with nice chunk of debt. [Kinda like I did this past weekend, another lesson learned!]
One thing I forgot to take a picture of was the gas prices! Regular gas in the suburbs cost about $4.20/gal and in the city it cost about $4.35/gal! Damn California gas prices!
Anyhow, here’s a teaser picture for you guys!
