that's the recessionary spirit!

December 16th, 2009 at 04:17 am

Tuesday
Saving log - $0
Spending log - $1.75 coffee + $22 groceries
Found money - $0.14 (gym table, parking meter, sidewalk)

Two recessionary items of note:

I haven't been looking in on 4 wk T-bills for a few weeks. Tuesday is when the T-bill auctions occur; sale occurs on Thursday. The interest rate of this week's 4 wk T-bill auction, and last week's: $0. Not just pennies of interest after the 4 weeks are over. You will make absolutely no money. I've made 15 cents these last two days - pretty good compared to that!

I finally did find a pretty good way to research the health of one's credit union

here. You can look at your bank, also - check out the sidebar at the site.

Others are sharing a funny, dark mood this holiday season - I've joined a friendly death bet at work. Not us - you pick 10 celebrities that you think might cash in their chips in 2010, you pay in $20, and you monitor for 2010. If you have somebody on your list, you get assigned points based on how old they were - 100. In other words, Lindsay Lohan would be worth far more than, say, nearly anybody else.

    Wow, I wish I could get in on that bet. Lindsay Lohan wouldn't be a bad choice given the way she lives her life!

    We were all thinking about Amy Winehouse, also. After all, she ain't going to rehab.

    Dude, it's sad but I just have this bad feeling about Miss Lohan. I'm no psychic, but I've been seeing awful pictures of her lately. She looks 40 yo, not early 20-something. That is a strange betting practice though, lol!

    Oh my goodness! I had no idea that my credit union's troubled assets are so high! I always had a feeling that's why their APY is so high, but I now have numbers to confirm this....

    Hmm, but is this a concern for me still? Considering that they have CUNA insurance? Either way, thanks for sharing that.

    By the way, the Amy Winehouse comment is absolutely hilarious! I didn't know you're a bettin' kind of woman.... Then again, these aren't exactly risky bets either. Big Grin Might as well throw Tara Reid in there too. What a mess.
