About Me:

34 yr old female trying to keep it together. I call my financial life a work in progress because though I have always had frugal inclinations I only recently started on an informal financial education with an end goal to make my money work for me! Of course I can be weak. Thai food, traveling, self-justification and laziness eat away at my savings. But I am getting there. I think. I used to be very jealous of the Jones' but now realize that they are broke and stressed so I prefer my own progress and accomplishments. My life may not be flashy but I have seen the consequences of a high-end lifestyle. I count myself lucky to be alive and aware in these economic times because I have learned so much and believe that in the long run I will come out farther ahead from a little suffering now. As long as I am not regressing, then I am pleased.

Fun fact to help navigate my posts: BB = Baseball Boy. My husband.

Quotes to keep me on track:

"How you spend your money today effects the life you will live tomorrow."

This morning I listed 10 textbooks on half.com that I had in storage for the last 2 years, and one just sold! I made $19.50!

I am very new to half.com, never bought or sold on it before, so I am hoping for a smooth transaction.

It seems half.com does not make deposits into paypal, (kind of nice not paying pay pal commission) so I will have the money deposited into my checking account.

Although I made a NY Resolution that all ebay money will be saved in the 2009 year- half.com money will be spent because it will be a pain in the ass to withdraw the money from my checking account and put it into my ebay money market.

I am just selling my textbooks on the site, so I will keep half.com money as a little 'fun' money.
