Give Me Back My Five Bucks

My goal is to move this blog to its own domain name before the year is out. I’m surprised that the price is so cheap through BlueHost … just $6.95/month. Plus, you can pay by PayPal, which makes it super easy just to transfer PPP money over to pay it. Aside from BlueHost, what other web hosting companies are you using? Is there a better deal out there? Any complaints with BlueHost?

The job hunt is still going strong. I’ve been applying for a ton of jobs, although I must admit, I haven’t been searching as hard as I could be. I would probably estimate I spend about 1.5 hours per day searching for work. I’m not really sure what’s wrong with me, but I seem to think that everything will work out in the end.

It’s been quiet on the financial front lately. I’ve been listing new items on eBay every day, and have just started to put a dent in my wardrobe.

I have 8 auctions ending in the next few days, and 3 of them have bids, … Continue reading →

Suddenly Saving – Another Canadian PFer. :) This blogger is a 4th year BA Major trying to get into grad school, as well as trying to break the “broke student” stereotype. It’s very exciting to see more and more Canadian PF blogs popping … Continue reading →

Reggie over at Another Kid With Good Credit has tagged me for a 7 Random Things About Me meme. I was pretty sure I did this meme before, and looking through my archives, I did it on July 8th, except back then, it was the 8 Random Things meme. :) Now, I normally wouldn’t do this meme again, but I’m procrastinating at work right now, so I’ll do it. Ryan the Temp (B.J. Novak) is my favourite character from The Office. Second favourite Office character is Toby, the HR guy. My favourite book is Catcher in the Rye. I think … Continue reading →
