Spend More or Save More This Year?

saveyspender — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:36:28 +0000

I was thinking last night about the economy and how it has effected everyone. I am curious, this year do you plan on saveing more or spending more. I personally will be spending more as long as I have the money to do so. Now I’m not just talking shopping for clothing, but just in bills and other debts. I also do plan on buying a new computer, a good printer fax thing and lots and lots of clothing as I’m also trying to lose weight, you can follow that progress on my loss my gain.

So what do you think you will do this year when it comes to spending or saveing? What do you hope to be able to do?

Listen, Play and Enjoy Your iPod

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don’t have my own iPod, but I have used a family members before and I loved it. Yes, an iPod is on my want list but were not talking about me here, what we are talking about is the iPod and how you can enhance your experience with a Yamaha PDX-60. This is a very cool device that allows you to listen to your iPod or iPhone wirelessly, that means you can run around the room and change the song without having to run back to the speaker system and your iPod.

If you watch movies on your iPod or iPhone you can use this system for better sound quality, the playback is synchronized between sound and video meaning you don’t have a delay. I hate watching movies where their mouths move but no one is talking. It’s just annoying

Now, next week does bring in the new year and if your having a party you may want to look into this. With this speaker system you don’t have to have someone change the song, or take time out of your conversation to go change it. I think it’s great and very useful. The system comes with the dock and a remote. Also if your using the iPhone with this speaker system you can still have music and talk on the phone at the same time. The transmitter is that small and portable.

Looking For A Job? Stay Groomed

Yes in order to land a job right now you need to stand out from the crowed and be presentable. If you look at what HR people find more important you will find that 90% of them will say that a well groomed person makes a better first impression then a firm handshake. Now it’s pretty simple for us females to stay groomed, but men you have a little work that you have to do and that is where Gillette Career Advantage can help you. This site has great information concerning interviews and your job. Some of the tips center around what to do before the interview, how to get ready the morning of the interview and even some tips on cold calling. I actually suggest women check this site out too as there are many great tips that we can use.

The Gillette Resource Center is another must for men to check out as it has shaving tips and facts along with information on the Gillette brand. There is also a section with sports and other entertainment. The section about Nascar is a must read, well at least for people like me who love the sport. So what do you think, if you were hiring someone for a job would you want someone well groomed or would you not care?

High End Items And You

Today I was talking with a friend of mine who has just gotten engaged, now I love this friend, but just after telling me she was engaged she started complaining about her ring. She’s a drama queen and I say that in the nicest way. She has always wanted the most expensive, most dazzling and most high end items. Her ring was a hand me down from his grandmother and she hates it.

Now unless you have one of the many good jobs in finance or you happened to hit the lottery chances are that you too will have sub par items. Of course they are only sub par if you think they are. Me, I would love a hand me down ring or any piece of jewelry for that matter. They mean something and are important to the people giving it to you.

Today I want you to think about what you have that someone you know could use and give it to them, remember what you give is what you will receive.

Start Your New Year Off The Right Way

Sometimes saving money is not a good thing. Those times are when you are donateing to a charity. This year more people will need money, food and clothing. If you have any to spare you should look into helping. One great way to help is to check out heroes at home It’s a program from sears that helps families of solders who need things that they just can’t afford or get right now. You can check out what they need by family and donate that item or money for it. You can also just donate money. It’s a really great cause as these people are off fighting for our country, and even if you don’t agree with the war, you can still help our troops by helping them give their family a good christmas. If you want to know more just check out this video it explains a lot.

I know so many of you reading this shop at sears, think about how much you spend and how much you could give these people instead. If you don’t shop at sears maybe you should check them out. They are really a good company for doing this, it’s a great idea and it shows that we do support what they are doing and we do think the world of them, even if we don’t always show it.
