Take Charge of Your Money... Series



Taking Charge of Your Money
 


Follow along with me, one step at a time.

I have never learned to control my spending. It has always controlled me. There seems to be more month then money. I have always been short and I never seem to have enough.

Where does it all go!
Sounds  familiar?
Well, it does to me.
 
I've had it. It’s time for me to take control of my money instead of my money controlling me!

This time, I am determined. I was recently introduced to a system that if followed, promises to bring you peace and tranquility knowing that your bills  will be  paid and that you will even have some money in the bank. The steps are  divided into sections and topics, to help simplify  the process.
Starting with #1 and working your way through the series.

    How to Take Charge of Your Money ...Get Current Part 2
     


Taking Charge of Your Money will NOT be easy. There will be times that you’ll feel that is live hasn’t been and isn’t fair however the long term goal promises to be rewarding.


Are you as determined as I am  to sacrifice and start building new habits today so that you can enjoy Living Life on 1 Income?

After writing down the all of my monthly regular and periodic expense, I found that I overlooked  a few  expenses:  ( Don't know why I overlooked  the expenses below, they come in every  month but writing them down has made me more conscious of them )
 car insurance 
light company and
gas company 
clothing category
The car insurance, light and gas company  expense will  be added into my regular monthly expenses and my clothing expense, (well we all need a new outfit or two every now and then)  I will categories as a  periodic expense, that I can build on and  will be able to purchase higher ticket items if needed.
This is about Living Life on 1 Income and I promise myself that I will live my  live to the fullest just frugally.
You can plug the miscellaneous expense to your periodic or your monthly expense.  Your Chose. I have decided to add the miscellaneous and the clothing expense to my periodical expense.
The amount that I have budgeted to put away monthly for these expense will not be large so  I figured if I can build on them periodically I can the purchase a nicer pair of shoes or  better quality kitchen towel set etc.
Let’ begin… Part 2

Cut Back, Way Back on Your Cable Bill

My Secret!

Well, it's not really a secret.   I love my Roku. If you aren't familiar with this small devise, I am happy to be one to introduce you to it.
One of the best  Christmas present, I've ever received. Love my Roku! You will see why.


Read more...


It a small Box.




 I am sure there are some more expense devises however  this one does the job for me.


It's a small box:
Connects to your homes Wi- Fi 
&
Streams 300 plus channels to your TV
 


 

All the cable are included when you purchase the Roku device, AV Cable or HDMT cable. The only other connection you'll need to make is to plug the Roku to a wall outlet.

You can watch over 100,000 Movies, TV Shows, from Sports the News to Family Channels

More then 300  channels are free however  to add Netflick or Hulu Plus  there is a  a small monthly service fee.
In the long run, you will save so much with Roku that you will kiss Cable TV Good Bye.
