My Money Experiment - Day 2 contd.
Written by praveen on November 15, 2008 – 2:25 am![]()
It’s Friday and I finally got my paycheck today. Yay! However, I had to hit the ground running. This afternoon, I started making all my credit card payments first. Utilities are the next in line. I got hit by a massive ATT UVerse bill for $320 yesterday. Since when did cable become so expensive, I have no idea. That is for 2 months though, but still it’s pretty darn high. From what is left after this, I will have to somehow squeeze in my monthly house payment. I don’t think I will be able to make the entire $3500 but let’s see if I can squeeze some moolah in from other corners.
My money scraping saga continued today too. I just opened up one of my old credit card accounts and I realized that there were some points that I had accumulated over the years which were just lying around for a couple of years now! I called up Citi and asked them if I could use them somehow. Guess what? Not only did they convert those points over to Thank You points, they said I could group them together with my other Thank you points! That bumped up my overall Thank You points to over 11000 which would be worth $110. Sweet!
I shall be updating my Debt Meter sometime tomorrow once all the payments are taken care of. Payments I have made so far today -
CC1 - $182.74
CC2 - $25
Money made today $110.
