If you don't mind me asking ...how much does Teaopia pay you hourly ?

Fri, 08 Oct 2010 19:00:01 -0400

teaopia paid minimum wage

i no longer work there

What happened to Windsor Insider website? I see you had $50 in June, but I do not see any activity on this website for a while?

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:18:24 -0400

it died

I know you do Swagbucks, but are there any other survey/points sites that you have success with? I like Ipsos, but I'm also looking for more.

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:54:26 -0400

I use Opinion Outpost and a couple others.

(there is a referral in that link. if you sign up, please use it)

did you give up on keeping track of your money?

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:25:19 -0400

I am keeping track of it in a more private manner. it’s much easier for me that way

So the sad news: I somehow didn’t pay my phone bill in April. I looked through my bank records and it didn’t happen. I paid the March bill late in the month, and the May bill early, and somehow missed the April. I was charged 1.37 or something in interest on a late payment.
Groceries consisted of tortillas, brown sugar, oatmeal, crumpets and a couple other things.

I am at $941.94

Why don't you add up your expenses and income at the end of each list?

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 13:23:03 -0400

It has never occurred to me to do it. I just take the total from the day before and add/subtract what is necessary.

16.40-Bus tickets

Income
100.00-HST
200.00-Money from Mom

I haven’t had to buy bus tickets in a while because I’ve been taking my bike a lot. I probably could have pushed buying them back a little bit more, but I didn’t want to be without in a “just in case” moment.

The gov is screwing with our taxes again, so we get $300 from them (in the income bracket I am in) in three installments. This was the first.
Mom got a refund for some stuff I’d paid for. She gave me the money.

I am at 588.99.

I am at $308.24. My credit card bill is coming soon.

Dinner was with Christine, and we were both pretty much starving after a long day.
I went out for drinks because a friend of mine is moving away today. I didn’t plan on staying long, but the rain had other ideas. I ended up staying out for most of the night.
Bills were normal. I need to start getting change, so I can pay the exact amount. I pay a teeny bit over almost every month.

I am at $312.05.

Expenses
2.30-Salad at work

Income
27.46-Refund from Bell
165.83-Made In Windsor

The salad was really good. The company changed the way salad bar prepares most of their food, so I don’t know if I’m going to get stuff from there anymore. I really need to buy veggies and bring them with me.

The refund was from a few months back when I paid and canceled my contract in the middle of the month. Happy to finally have this.
Made In Windsor is from working there, not selling.

I am at $564.06.
