Clay Pots & Wooden Spoons

I do. Some people think that using coupons is being to cheap but in my opinion it isn’t. Businesses use these coupons for a reason and that is to entice people to try their products at a discounted price (at times free) with hopes that we’ll like their products/services so we’ll be repeat customers. I’ve found several shops I wouldn’t have normally visited through coupons and I have grown attached to their offerings. With people getting laid off from work, it doesn’t hurt to use coupons when getting groceries and other things we use daily. It helps us extend whatever money we have right now and I think everyone on a strict budget can appreciate them.

I have one vice and that is electronics. I really love gadgets and electronic items. If I win the lottery, I’ll probably spend a day shopping for things I can put in my personal media room. New kick-ass computer (because the one I have right now dies when I run Photoshop and SAI), a Cintiq tablet and an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier machine. Then a large plasma tv, blu-ray, speakers, air-conditioning unit and a whole lot of loot. I’m pretty much a hermit and I can live in that room for a long time for work and play so the investment won’t be a total waste. I’d rather spend on that than waste it on booze.

Unexpected things happen. We heard that the mother of my aunt died and soon after our old neighbor died. Some people think everything ends in death, though here in our country debt doesn’t. Plus there’s the funeral cost families have to look money for. Death is expensive, no wonder we have so many funeral parlors around. They make a killing out of it, no pun intended. If I had strong guts, I’d invest in the funeral business.

I should start looking at insurance plans. I promised myself I would last year but I still haven’t gotten around to it. I’m not really used to insurance stuff but I know it would be easier for me if I have evrything sorted especially in case of unexpected emergencies. I have to make sure once I get myself a car or a van, I’d be updating my insurance. I don’t want to be caught unexpectedly. I have to invest on good sam mechanical breakdown insurance especially for rainy days.

Ok, this week is finals week. Lots of papers that still need to be submitted plus a few projects and then I have class that has a departmental final exam scheduled which is for my Entrepreneurial Strategy class. Seriously, I never thought my last term in school for my business classes would be this hard. Maybe I can one day put this to good use and apart from putting up my own business, I can also be one of those business plan consultants that I see. Still quite a long time before I get to that one, but I really am hoping that I pass everything this term. So I’ll be walking to graduate on October 10th. Pray for me will you? <3
