About Me

Sara (a.k.a. newlyfrugal)

I was a civil engineer working in the private development sector until the housing market crash. Since then I have been a SAHM and doing in-home daycare. My family and I live in Madison, WI and have been riding the debt roller coaster since before our beginning. This year we are going to get off and finally pay off our revolving debt.

A little more income

May 9th, 2007 at 07:15 am

I did my first survey for Pinecone last week and am having the $5 sent to my bank account as we speak. Also, I sold 3 books last month on Half.com and they just deposited $19 into my checking account. Gotta love it! As soon as we are back flush with our savings account (tomorrow) I will be transferring this money into our buffer account. Any little bit that I can see that grow will not be wasted effort.

Good job. I think the neatest thing is to see how $5 here and $5 there really does add up. It makes you more aware of even your smaller purchases.
