Manage Your Money Wisely

[edeline]

I have been cleaning the trash out of a basement of a house the last few days. The people who lived there before threw their money everywhere. I am finding it on the floor, in the clothing, and everywhere. I even resacked on garbage and found lots of money in that sack. They are mostly penneys. Sometimes I find nickels, dimes, and once in a while a quarter. I bring them home to Carol, because she loves to find and get penneys. Today I found so many of them that my pockets wouldn't hold them, so I found a small tub to put them in, and then I was tired and forgot to bring them home to Carol, but they will be waiting for me tomorrow.

Wow,. can I substitute you Edwin so that I can also get some?hehehe..joke

I will tell you where the people live, and you can go offer to clean their house!!!! You will have fun!!!!

wow thanks give me the adress and I will clean the house,hehehe. I used to do cleaning way back when I was in highschool and cleaning the surroundings of the rich people so that I can have allowance in going to school. It is not easy to be working in another house and ensuring that they like your service. The work sometimes is not easy, there was a time that the muriatic acid spilled on my sking and that was so painful. I was very very careful next time I was using muriatic acid. It was just lucky that the muriatic acid was just little that spilled on my skin. That was not easy, even in grade one I can still remember that I used to pick breadfruits and sell to the people who will buy it for their cows.

That was one of my motivations why I really need to finish studying.

Just imagine how painful the back is when a person is bending down for whole day sweeping all the dry leaves on the ground.
I did that and it was so so tiresome but in the end earned a very little just enough for the allowance.

Actually picking up those coins is taking some of my time, but I can't resist picking up a penney, nickel, dime, or quarter. I am about finished with that job. It is a basement I am cleaning where someone left old clothing, garbage, and everything you can imagine; mostly items no one would want, but I have found a few things, like lots of nice clothes hangers, blankets for the dog, and canned food. It was an unpleasant job in some respects as the people also flooded the basement, and so a lot of the clothing that I was bagging up for the dump were wet and heavy, costing me more money to dump them as they charge by the pound. They also dumped used motor oil down the drain, so on top of the flooded water was black oily slick that I had to mop up, shovel up the icky water, and then clean the floor more. I am finished with all the really unpleasant part. There are a few wet clothings left, but very few. I have a small basement garage room to clean, and a fruit room to clean, so I am about finished. I have been bagging up stuff, loading in from early morning until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Then I make the run to the dump. After that I come back and work on plumbing in the house until 8 or 9 p.m. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, but I am now getting the urgent parts done, then I will tackle the rest later. I hung a storm door on the front porch last night. The back porch and steps need to be rebuilt, so I will have some work to do okay enough, but it will at get done in time.

Just spend money for what is needed and not what you want.
it is hard to earn money especially now adays that many has no work.
save money as much as possible. at least you have something to use during emergency

Very true, and as they say it is hard to earn it and save it, but it can be spent very quickly!

I agree with you, sir Edwin. my late father was so thrifty so i learn to save part of the money when i was working in the city hall. when i lost my job, at least i have some money to spend. while i was in the training center, i always in the hospital because of my weak heart then all money earned is spent in the hospital.

it is easy to spend, especially when you are in the store or in the mall.

Your late father left you a great heritage teaching you how to save your money. It is very true that if you save you have some money for the rainy day. It is too easy to spend money in the mall or in the store!

Yes, Crisi, we do the best we can, and then it is very nice to have people who are willing to help us in times of need, and it hits all of us at one time or another!

One of the test in life is how you manage or use your money. Infact the best test in life is about money. Many people change because they have money. They become arrogant as in they feel they are high in the society. Feeling good is not the same as feeling proud. So, how do you act for those who has money?? For those who are capable in life? This will tell you what kind of person you are.

I think the person who has a little money and can manage it wisely is better off than the person who has a lot and can't or doesn't manage. The people who don't manage wisely will get into trouble no matter how much money they have; at least that is what I think. We do as well as we are able to, so that we will have enough for our needs, we are careful with what God has given us, so that it will meet our needs.
