Debt - free

Having 2 kids now is really a challenge with our finances. Of course, aside from the maternity fees that we incurred, we also need to allocate our money for our daily expenses such as food, bills etc. Add to that the vaccination of the kids with their pediatrician that can cost an arm and a leg already. Whew! I am just thankful that we always get by with God's help. Being debt-free gives someone a feeling of security, and life of less worries. Who wouldn't want to be out of debt right? One step that we are currently taking to avoid big debts is to minimize credit card purchases. We find it as an imaginary money everytime we use it. Its better to just pay with cash- just the right amount of money that you currently have.

I've been reading a lot of money saving tips and articles over the internet and even with some books, and I find it helpful during these budgeting times. I learn to just spend within my limits, and save some for emergency purposes. When it comes to our household bills, we also do our best to save, like with electricity, water , telephone etc.Any other suggestions to help lower my bills ? I am seeing its fruits now, and Im just glad that we have extra savings for a few months already.

Weekend Snapshots - my everything.



My Family. My love, my life , my everything .

More Snapshots here .

The Weekend

Nothing really special for this weekend. Saturday, we went at my son's playgroup in the morning and spent the afternoon resting at home. We are still adjusting with our life now, having no help at all with the house chores is really tiring, but we are somehow getting used to it . I am taking it as something positive, we learn independence from this situation. Yesterday, Sunday , we went to a kiddie party during the afternoon. It was just Gelo and me with the 2 kids, and yes, we survived! My son is learning independence too , and that's one thing Im happy with.

Now, im just making the most out of my free time. I need to finish looking for steel buildings , then I am off to bed again. Be back later.

Where to get books?

It's Febuary, and in my part of the world, school will be over in 2 months. I remember when I was in college , this is one of the busiest months because we need to finish and submit our reports, term papers etc. We even have our overnight session just to finish everything on time. One time, i remember that we even need to buy a textbook for reference. Its not available at the school library so we have no choice but to get one at the cheapest price possible. You know how books are priced nowadays, it can really eat up a students savings. So we looked almost every store to get Cheap Textbooks for our report reference. Did you know that we were able to score most of it online, and everything was in good condition. There is a search engine online of the cheapest textbooks you can ever find. All you need are the details - title , author and a few keywords, and you are set to buy the cheapest one. Because of the best price that they offer, even until now, I recommend this site to my cousins who are still studying. Finding a book won't be a problem anymore. Im just glad Im finish with schooling, no more reports and deadlines.
