Im back!!

Well I have been gone for a long time and decided to restart this blog thing back up. From now on I will try my best to keep this up dated a lot more and better for my readers if there are any out there? Well for people who don't know already we are expecting our first little one at the beginning of next year. We have finished the baby's room and I will try my best to pics up on here for people to see. Well I will keep this log short for now, will be back maybe tomm or day later.

Beginning of a NEW ERA

Well today I am starting my new job/career. I am so excited to get started even though that I know I truly won't be doing what I am hired for in atleast a week. First I have to be trained and also sign a lot of paper's before I get started. Can't wait to start!!! I'll let you all know how it went later.

Start of a New Month:NOVEMBERRRRR

So we have just begun a new month and I have just implemented my new philosophy on writing down every credit card or check card transaction we make. So far we have made two of them today and they both are written in the notebook. I am not quite sure what I am going to get out of this but I think it should turn out to help me somewhat on the spending we do. This could get me more focused on when to buy items such ass the grocery store. I have been trying to get my wife to get into the idea that every third week or so we will go grocery shopping. If we need something small we shouldn't go and get that stuff and save it for next time. In many cases we end up going back in a week to pick up a few things in which I do not like doing this. It ends up leading to spending more money then what I want to spend. So to end it all I hope the notebook thing works out for us but if doesn't I will try other things.

Extra Cash

Well I just joined My Survey to earn extra cash for the down payment to a new home. I know it won't get me much monies but I'll take $10 no matter what. Here is the link to their site: My Survey. Please use my link as a referral I'd really appreciate it Thanks.

Great News!!!

Well I had my interview today for a better job. Well this job entitles me to my own vehicle at work and cellphone all the time. Plus I get to work alone, I will be making $3 more a hour then the current job and finally but not least I won't have to worry about people bitching and whining about prices of gas and cigs woohooo!!!! Any ways I only had one interview with them but I think I got the job solely based on my connection inside the company. While I was in the interview I met with a general manager and he stated that he wanted to someone that wants to move up in the company and not someone who just wants to do this job for their whole life. Just so you know my current job I was waiting to move up but they took to long and the new job said that after a year then I could have a chance of moving into the business aspect of it. I am so excited nothing like starting a new job when you have worked at your previous one for 9+ years.

November

Starting in November I will start logging everything that I purchase by credit and check card into a small notebook. I got this idea from another PFer but the name slips my mind so once I remember where I got it from then I will give credit where its due. Other things in November that are changing could be that job interview I have on Wednesday. If this job goes through it'll be an extra $300 in the pocket for us. To the rest of the Pfers you guys sure do a great job on showing us newbies what and how to help your finances out.

Delayed---WELCOME!!!!

Sorry for not really introducing myself but here goes. Well I am a 28 year old college student who is happily married for almost 1 1/2 years. I am currently in school for Web Design. My previous college experience was with Exercise Science but one I found out the incomes for this type of career I kind of hit the road and decided to further my knowledge in computers. I have always liked computers as much as weightlifting so I could not do any wrong by switching careers. So this blog will be talking about our financial situation, other things in our life, and maybe once in a while a sports article. We currently live in the Twin Cities(USA)and are also looking to by a house in the late spring to early summer time. Well I sure hope you enjoy the ride and don't be shy and leave a comment if you would like.

Thanks,
