goes a long way!
Each day Margot looks at her portfolio. Some days I hear a “yahoo” while she sits at the computer and brings up our accounts. Other times I hear profanities! Lately, it’s been the latter.
We are constantly looking for new things to invest our money in. We thought about doing a rental house, but quite honestly, we are not sure we want to deal with tenants in the wee hours of the morning complaining about no heat!
We might consider looking at st gaudens gold though! Regal Gold Coins offers different ways you can invest in gold.
Our friend, L, swears by precious metals. At one point they were at an all time low and they have since gone through the roof the past few months. It’s still a good time to buy gold coins because I am pretty sure they haven’t reached their peak yet. Plus, I think we are probably on the upswing of the recession.
Instead of having gold stored in the house - we would probably be more interested in a gold IRA. Margot gets her SEP contribution in a few weeks and has to figure out what investments she wants to take part in.
I am sure when we get ready to retire - there’s going to be no such thing. Already, we’re pushing the mark and many of the people that I know who reach the age tend to pass away shortly after they retire.
That’s why when I go back to work we are really going to start saving like crazy for our retirement. God knows there is not going to be social security money available and even there was it would only be pennies a month!
Then there’s the thousands of dollars a month that we would have to spend on health insurance…

we will be moving!
Hopefully.
The plan is that we’ll have the needed paperwork from our redneck neighbors and be able to close on our old house and our new house!
We’ve schedule movers for next Friday and they’ll move us out of the old house from 9-12. At noon we’ll go sell our house. At one we’ll go to our second closing and buy our new house.
The whole time the movers will be at the new house taking a lunch break and then HOPEFULLY, we’ll be able to unpack and find enough of our things to sleep at Kay St!
Pretty excited and hope that this is really going to come together…

So I’m sure most of you that know me know that I got myself into a little speeding trouble! I got a ticket going 48 in a 25. Eek.
I went to court and got it reduced to a 38 in a 25 and I have to pay $185 and it’s 4 points on my driver’s license. I was told that I can take the defensive driving class and get it taken off of my record all together.
While I don’t know what it’s going to do to my insurance rates I think I might start looking for low cost car insurance. I’m tired of paying way too much for insurance and with my schedule opening up I figure I can really take the time needed to look around!

I should have known….I thought she would have lasted at least another week. She’s pretty and young and I thought that some of the teenage girls who watch this show would have called in to vote for her.
Plus, her performance wasn’t *bad* - just boring.

I’m always looking for friends online. It’s been great to find many of the people and friends that I went to high school with on facebook. The ones that I thought would have been successful and happy are now working at the grocery store and on their third divorce.
If you’re looking for a friend make sure to hook up with anne a lay apostle! She offers writings that are quite interesting and spiritual in nature. She tells a story like no other and if you’re looking for a good read or inspiration - look no further!
Now back to my bejeweled game. Watch out peeps I have no mercy.
