Won My Appeal

[jtg1966]

so as y'all know i was notified that i won my appeal....but haven't rec'd the money yet...

the question that i have is this...

is it wrong that i'm watching an ebay auction for a 2008 hummer which also has gold plated handles and lug nuts and furry dice hangin' from the rearview mirror made from actual mink.

not to mention that I bid on a hooter's tour which includes airfare , transpotation to 38 hooters world wide and all you can eat or drink for 19,000?

Furry Mink Dice!

Nice, warm, furry mink dice!

Put the retro in the bank for a few months to let it cool off. Then write a plan for how you are going to spend part of it and invest the rest in something safe. Money has a way of slipping through our fingers if we let our emotions take over. Even a million bucks can get spent in a hurry if you focus on wants and desires instead of needs. If I had a new source of income I might even consult a fee base financial planner to get a plan for your future. If you get 3000 bucks a month and spend 3001 dollars that equals eventual misery. If you get 3000 a month and spend 2999 that means peace of mind. Charles Dickens said something like that.

Nice to hear another wins...as I have been biting the dust for almost 7 yrs...Enjoy, and keep checking your bank account as it may creep in in the night.

yes i got the retro...8041.00...not what i was expecting...but i'll take it for now... :D

the first thing i bought was car insurance...as i've been without for two years...paid my rent, i was behind a month...bought a plane ticket to NJ in april, cause my nephew/godson is having his first communion....and repaid my sister and parents 500.00 dollars each that i owed them...and i bought a 250.00 laptop...its a little faster than the one i have...but it is the same basic model and the parts are compatible....

i spent 300 on groceries so i guess i'll eat this month...i still have 6700 in the bank....which is better than my .12 that i usually have after the first...

so i spent 2300 in grand total...with the 8041 plus the 974 monthly...
