I did it!

A speaker system I had on Amazon just sold this afternoon. Net earnings = $71.04.

This takes care of the $52.07 I needed to reach my goal for my trip to Atlanta in 3 weeks. I am so amazed by the amount of money I have been bringing in on the side. The past couple of weeks have been really good. I still have a number of items listed on Amazon and eBay. I am contemplating on what I am going to do with that money once it comes in. For the time being I will let it sit in my Misc account.

I am going to the A yall!!!!!!!

Anyone have suggestions of some places I should hit up?

If you have some time, you may also want to check out the Georgia Aquarium.

Ooh, Moneymonk and Gecko Girl lives in the A - or in the area - they might know some local hot spots.

@ single guy

Ohh the aquarium! That's the one that was featured in the movie Daddy's Little Girls right? Oh I most definitely will check it out

@ Single Ma

As singleguymoney mentioned, the aquarium is always a winner. If you go there, that will put you in the same area as Centennial Olympic Park, World of Coca-Cola and CNN (they offer a tour.)

If you're up for seeing another show, check out the half price ticket booth AtlanTix. More information on that is at www.atlantaperforms.com, look on the right hand side of the screen.

The only jazz place I've been to in Atlanta is Sambuca. It's nice, classy and pricey.

For history, we don't have much in Atlanta. We like to tear things down. You may want to check out the Fox Theatre tour. And there is always the Atlanta University Center, home to Spelman and Morehouse. Or you could check out the MLK historic sites.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh
