Maybe…

Maybe I should start going to storage unit auctions. I watch those shows on TV where people buy storage units for cheap and up making a lot of money sometimes and other times the units are filled with worthless junk. There have been some units filled with boats, rifle scopes, rare coins, old baseball cards and other rare and expensive items. The people on that show sometimes make more than 3 times what they spent on the unit.

I saw one show where the unit was filled with nothing but trash and I think one guy bid on it and got it for something like $5.

Now that I think about it… I don’t think I’d make much money. I’d see people’s personal items, like pictures and papers, and try to return the stuff to them.

Did you know…

Did you know that there are virtually no hoodia side effects? Hoodia is made from plants that grow mainly in Africa.

Hoodia contains a chemical that tells your brain that you aren’t hungry. I’ve never used so I couldn’t say for sure if it works or not. Stress is my appetite suppressant and it’s been working quite well for me for the past, at least, two years. The stress comes from having very little money, no job and worrying about how the bills will be paid. I’m surprised my hair hasn’t gone totally white yet. I do have some stray gray hairs that get covered up with hair dye though.

Making money

I need to find a way to make some money. I really don’t know what it takes to start your own business but I’m sure you would have to have cash up front in order to do that. I just don’t have cash to spare to do that.

I’m taking classes online to do book keeping in hopes I can find a job in that field when I’m done. I’ve been doing the classes for over a week now and I really like it and remember what I was taught about bookkeeping in my high school bookkeeping/business math classes. It’s funny how that comes back to you after all these years.

I can’t wait to finish up with my classes and get my certificate and add that to my resume.

Funds are tight

Money is tight and I usually run out of money before I run out of week. I know that doesn’t sound quite right but what I mean is we’re usually out of money before payday comes again. I really hate when that happens. I know we could go out and get a payday cash advance but I’m not too sure about some of the places around here that do that.

Instead we go through things we have and see if we can sell them. If this keeps up and I can’t find a job we aren’t going to have anything left in our condo! There are a few things I wish hubby would get rid of but he refuses to do that. It would make life so much easier if he would just break down and sell those things.

Cold winter

Winter has gotten started with a bang! We had over 12 inches of snow just before Christmas so we had a white Christmas. Hubby worked plowing snow for 34 hours. Our heater quit but we have 2 space heaters and a burner going on the stove. It keeps it nice and toasty inside this camper.

In the bedroom we have an electric blanket (pad under the mattress) to help keep us warm while we sleep.

Hopefully we’ll get more snow and then with hubby plowing we’ll have money to get a place to move to. Now all I need to do is find a job and hope that Andi finds a job soon too and we’ll be good to go.

Going down

I found the best diet pill/fat burner in the world. Here is how it works:

1. lose your job
2. stress over it
3. lose your unemployment
4. stress over it
5. be unable to find another job
6. stress over it
7. not have much money
8. stress over it
9. eat very little to conserve the food you have
10. stress over it

That’s how I lost almost 10 pounds in the last couple months. I went from 153 to 144 when I got on the scale this morning.

I just can’t wait till hubby gets paid on Friday.. maybe.. just maybe I can buy a little food. We still have bills to pay. I hate bills.
