My first car

    I spent almost $1600.00 of my money in my first, car I'll show you a picture of my '94 Mustang 3.8 engine and V-6, I was thinking that maybe I did a mistake with the v-6 because I need $35.00 to fill it up with gasoline, but I don't travel very long distances so maybe it was not a bad decision at all.



December 27, 2009 ( El Paso, TX )
 

Mustang          $1600.00
License            $   25.00
ID                   $    15.00
Gasoline          $    50.00
Insurance        $     97.00 ( for a month )
Car extras       $  140.00
---------------------------------------
Total :             $1927.00 

I had $1968.00 in total available to buy a car but now I just have $13.00 dollars in my wallet and I'll need to wait for unemployment because the restaurant were I used to work just burned down by accident. For my fortune I lend some money so this next Thursday I will receive it back.

Weekend December 4 - 6, 2009

   Starting the month and getting rid of all debt that's pretty comfortable for me, I think this will be the first weekend that I'd end up with a negative result in my goal , I didn't earn more than I spent let's see how I did this weekend.

Spent(-)
Computer Bill              107.46 ( I'm done with this last payment )
Carls Jr.                          2.00 ( Ranch Bacon Burgers for 1 dollar )
Extra                             81.00
-----------------------------------
Total:                           190.46

Earned(+)
Check                          99.00
Money Found                 0.33 ( I think this is the last time that I found money because I'm not walking anymore in the streets )
-----------------------------------
Total:                           99.33

I failed this weekend by -91.13

I don't have to much to comment about it but this will change soon I'll do it always be positive but I did this because I want to get rid of all my debts by the end of the year and start it cool and fresh.

Keeping track on my finances

    I'm completing the goals that I put on my To Do list I've been working on it, I'm almost done with the HS Diploma ( Alternative ) and my driver license which both of them are very important for me right now. What I need to do now is to improve my income.
    I was watching my categories ( Weekend Review ) and I found out that I found money in the streets almost every week, I add them up and I have almost :

   $20.00 Extra bucks

  If you are one of those guys who recieve change and threw it to the floor just because they gave you 10 cents or 1 penny thank you so much and for those who understand what little cents mean here's a way to find free money lol , I know those are just a couple of bucks but you can buy a cheeseburger just for "free".
  I also update the NetWorthIq plugin I improved a little bit my networth just like $120 dollars but now I'm free of debt and I can afford new things like save for investments and stuff like that.

So far so good ! http://www.themoneyflows.org/   - Continues !

Note: I will try to spend more time on the site.
