Trying and learning how to be an "Ultimate Cheapskate"

I am currently trying to be and learning how to be an ultimate cheapskate.


It's gonna be a bit of a rough road trying and learning how to do this. I've just started a few weeks ago at saving money. (ex.: moving x-amount of money from my checking on days i get paid over to my savings account.)



That is the easy part. The part that's a little harder (but I've done well) is not touching what I have in savings if I go broke. My suggestion for anyone that is wanting to build up their savings account(s) is to put about 100 bucks of your check into savings and then don't look at your savings account anymore. Just look at what you have left in your CHECKING account. I promise that over a period of time, you won't miss that money!!!


Just remind yourself to NOT touch it.


I've done well. I know that you can too if you just keep working at it.

Good Cry's

I had a good cry earlier. The cry came from my ticket (read my last post titled UH OH). Sometimes you just have to cry. Cry for no reason at all. Cry because you are frustrated. Cry to help releave some pain that you have. I've cried for all of the reasons I just gave. I go in search of songs that'll help me cry. Crying releaves soooo many things. Tension that's built up...pain from a death or breakup...even for no reason. Music helps with that. Trust me on that one. It will always make you feel better. And as much as I hate to admit it, once in a while I do like to listen to love songs and cry. Sad songs. Now I feel a bit better. I just wanna have a happier and less stressful life...but it'll be hard to find. A happy and stress free or less stressful life seems like it only hapens in my dreams or only hapens to the rich. :-/

Kinda sad too

About a month ago, my general manager quit. I had a panic attack while at work once I had his departure confirmed.  I needed that man more than he will EVER know. I still need him. I really do. He made the days better. He listened to me. He cared about me. Was I spoiled? Yes I was.  Is the fact that I was spoiled why, even a month later, the reason I still have a hard time. Maybe...just a little.  The worst is that I trusted this man. I trusted him SO much. And he trusted ME. He seemingly cared about me more than I care to admit.  I also have found out where he now works. I won't say it here. At least, not right now. Give him some time to settle in.  I only hope good things for him. I really do. Granted, I feel like this man broke me. Even though I feel that way, I will ALWAYS wish him the best. I will ALWAYS have his back. I know he still has mine. At least I hope he does.  Tyler, if you ever see this, please know that I am rooting for you. Please know that you can always use me a
