I have no grace today

January 5th 2007 06:24

Looking at the wallet, which only contains 3 – 4 dollars, I sighed. I have been telling myself everyday that it’s going to be ok, even though I only have about 60 dollars to spend until the end of the month when I decided to push it all out and settle as much credit bills as possible.

While it is a 15 min drive to his house in a normal traffic. I took almost 35 minutes to reach the destination through cutting into the right track.

So here's what the UKs been saying. Happy reading

December 11th 2006 06:23

Extracted and compiled from CLEO magazine 2006

Last but not least, think about spending the money on important incidentals in the year to come, rather than spending it all right now. Because bonuses come once a year (or perhaps twice), they are actually very useful in planning for those annual incidentals, which always seem to take you buy surprise – vehicle insurance, birthdays, anniversaries, income tax, property assessment… there are at least a dozen things that happen throughout the year that we often have to resort to our credit cards for

One of the writers did warn us about such posts are some money laundering scams, and some worse, they want to trick you into paying your own money
